The 2009 Import and Export Market for Sesame Seeds in India

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on sesame seeds in India face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying sesame seeds to India? How important is India compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of sesame seeds vary from one country of origin to another in India? On the supply side, India also exports sesame seeds. Which countries receive the most exports from India? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for sesame seeds in India. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for sesame seeds for those countries serving India via exports, or supplying from India via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
