In 2024, forecasted sesame seed production in Kenya stands at 7.76 thousand metric tons. This represents a decrease from previous years, continuing the downward trend observed since 2023, where production was higher.
Year-on-year variations show that production is expected to decline by 2.97% from 2024 to 2025, 3.06% from 2025 to 2026, 3.01% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.1% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year period ending in 2028, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent decline in sesame seed production.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on crop yields, shifts in domestic and international market demand, and advancements in agricultural practices that could either mitigate the decline or potentially reverse the trend.
