I ate this thing years ago in Abuja, I didn't know it was made from sesame seeds. I think they call it ridi in the north or so.

Please don't forget to reward the small children as well.

If possible, make the farming a community project. I do not know how this will work but with this result, you could approach the Local Government or King as the case may be. You know your community way better.

Funny enough, this is the most less stressful farming to venture into.

The only issues with sesame farming is that the moment it is time to harvest and you extend the time even if it is by just a week, you're sure of loosing almost half of the farm because it may spill open and then the whole grains will otilo.
that's it... U need to be fast..because of it's shattering ability

Sesame seed does not like excessive rain, so it's not planted during heavy rains, it will totally not produce to taste. The Best Season to consider planting this should be August to November /December and April-July (early season of rains when it's still quite light lest you loose it totally)is the other season ,though most famers do not venture in to this first season (April to July )as it is a high risk planting .I live up north and I can tell you none of us on this axis dare the April planting ,we rather go for the August planing as it gives us perfect yield with all factors been considered. Mine is already fruiting as we speak (planted using broadcasting method ) on 25th August so we are two months up or so.planting sesame seed is quite simpler compare to most of the other crops we look at, partly because "IT DOESN'T NEED WEEDING"! unlike maize ,Beans and even Egusi .It always try to compete with Egusi in market price so we call it Egusi's Sister !

I was watching a TV Series yesterday (Silicon Valley Season 1) and a weird billionaire investor) mentioned that Burger King (a burger selling outlet) was generating about $7.5 billion, so he ordered his PA to buy several varieties of their burgers, placed it on his table and observed for several minutes.

After carefully observing the burgers, he noticed that all of them had sesame seeds sprinkled on them and he decided to invest in sesame seeds.

As long as Burger King makes burgers, they will be demand for sesame seeds.....

If you want to know what the seeds are used for, a quick Google Search or ChatGPT, or Google Bard will help you a lot.

He must be prepared to take market share from the existing supplier to get returns from his investment.

What about eaten by animals the like of cows, goats etc. Moreso, do we have buyers across the country? I mean standby selling points to sell your sesame produce.
