Commodity Tips, Farmers advised sow sesame
The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University has advised farmers to take up sowing of sesame.
This major edible oilseed crop is grown in states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
In Tamil Nadu, sesame is grown in Villupuram, Erode, Thanjavur, Karur, Salem, and Cuddalore districts in all four seasons such as Chithiraipattam, Aadipattam, Karthigaipattam, and Masipattam.
Main varieties cultivated include TMV3, TMV 4, TMV 6, TMV 7 (Brown), Co 1 (black) and SVPR 1(white sesame). About 65 percent of the annual sesame crop is processed into edible oil and 35 percent used in confectionaries.
During the last season (Karthigaipattam), the area under sesame was less compared to the normal area owing to delayed/extended monsoon but the demand for sesame swelled
The ensuing season—Masipattam—would be favorable for sowing sesame, said researchers at the Centre for Agricultural and Rural Development Studies (CARDS), Tamil Nadu Agricultural University after analyzing the price movement at the Sivagiri Regulated Market in Erode district. The farm gate price of quality sesame could range between Rs 57 and Rs 60 a kg, researchers said, advising farmers to take appropriate sowing decisions
