Sesame is the crown jewel of Tanzanian agriculture. At Tillya Harvest Traders, we take pride in being a leading exporter of premium natural sesame seeds. Harvested in the heart of Tanzania’s prime growing regions—including Lindi, Mtwara, and Dodoma our seeds are prized globally for their large size, creamy color, and exceptional oil yield. We bridge the gap between Tanzanian smallholder excellence and the demanding standards of global oil crushers and food manufacturers.
White/Creamish Sesame (Gindano): The gold standard for the confectionery and bakery industry. Known for its aesthetic appeal and sweet, nutty flavor.
Mixed/Brown Sesame: High-efficiency seeds primarily used for premium sesame oil extraction due to their robust oil profile.
Machine Cleaning & Gravity Separation: Unlike standard traders, our sesame undergoes rigorous mechanical cleaning to remove dust, stones, and empty shells, achieving a 99% purity rate.
High Oil Yield: Due to the volcanic soil and optimal sun exposure in Tanzania, our seeds consistently test above 50% oil content, offering better ROI for oil processors.
Traceability: We manage the supply chain from the farm gate to the port, ensuring every bag meets our internal “Golden Standard” before it is loaded.
Third-Party Inspection: All shipments are eligible for SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection at the port of Dar es Salaam to verify quality and weight.
