What buyers should specify
Sesame buyers should specify hulled or natural unhulled seed, purity, admixture tolerance, sortex cleaning, crop year, oil content, and destination port for comparable offers.
Spec fields to include
Attach buyer-defined fields early so suppliers can compare current lots without assuming price, stock, documents, or route readiness.
- hulled or natural seed
- purity
- admixture tolerance
- oil content
- aflatoxin requirement
- bag type
Buyer spec table
Use these fields as RFQ prompts. Typical target/range values are buyer-defined and must be confirmed against current lot documents.
| Field | Typical target/range | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Seed form | Hulled, unhulled, natural, or sortex-cleaned | Different uses require different cleaning levels. |
| Purity/admixture | Buyer must define tolerance | A comparable RFQ needs the same purity target. |
| Aflatoxin | Buyer or destination limit | Food buyers often need a defined test result or limit. |
| Bagging | 25-50 kg bag, pallet, or container loading | Packing affects shipment and inspection planning. |
Common grades
- hulled sesame
- unhulled natural sesame
- sortex-cleaned export lots
RFQ document checklist
Ask for only the documents the buyer or destination requires, then wait for supplier-confirmed lot evidence.
- COA
- phytosanitary certificate
- certificate of origin
- aflatoxin report
Packaging and shipment notes
25-50 kg PP bags, jute bags, palletized loads, or direct container loading. Quote accuracy improves when buyers include destination port, Incoterm, target timeline, and any mandatory certificates.
Destination questions
Origin Direct can only route a useful RFQ when the buyer defines the route and compliance context.
- destination port
- hulled or unhulled form
- purity, oil content, and aflatoxin limits
- bag type and container loading preference

Buyer-fit note
Sesame Seeds demand is strongest when the RFQ includes intended use: tahini, bakery, oilseed processing, trading, and food ingredient manufacturing. Origin Direct uses this information to route qualified requests without promising fixed MOQ, price, or availability before supplier confirmation. Commercial terms remain supplier-confirmed before outbound follow-up.
RFQ routing and privacy
Origin Direct is an independent sourcing/RFQ desk. Buyer details stay private while requirements are reviewed, and anonymized supplier routing happens only for quote preparation after the buyer gives partner-sharing permission.
