• Which countries produce the most sesame oil in the world?
  • This growth is attributed to factors such as rising demand for sesame oil and improved farming practices. Asia has supplied most of the world’s sesame for the past 60 years (Fig. 2). But since 2012, Africa has been the top producer, with 56.8% of global production (FAOSTAT 2024).
  • What is edible soy oil?
  • Produced from the highest quality of soybeans, SHD extracts edible soy oil to be used in frying, cooking, and salads. Soy Oil is known for its benefits in terms of controlling cholesterol levels, boosting bone health, improving vision, and protecting the skin from damage. The product is sold in bulk locally or exported to regional clients.
  • What is sesame oil?
  • 1. Introduction Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest cultivated oilseed crops, known for its resilient growth in arid conditions and highly valued seeds for their oil and nutritional content.
  • How did soybean yield change in 2017?
  • The yield levels of soybean gradually increased from 1873 kg/ha in 1991 to 2857 kg/ha in 2017 with a coefficient of variation of just 11% indicating a slow and steady growth in yield. Trends of area, production, and yield of major oil crops (1990¨C2019) In rapeseed-mustard, area, production, and yield witnessed a steady growth.
  • Can genetic engineering improve oil content and seed yield in sesame plants?
  • Genetic engineering techniques have been used to enhance the oil content and seed yield in sesame plants by targeting essential enzymes involved in oil synthesis, including diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), phospholipid diacylglycerol acyltransferases (PDAT), fatty acid desaturases (FAD), and cytochrome b 5 (Muthulakshmi et al., 2021).
  • What is soybean meal?
  • SHD produces high protein soybean meals used by animal feed compounders to feed chicken and livestock. The soybean meal is considered one of the main sources of protein in the feeding process of farm animals and its feeding value is unrivaled by any other plant protein source. SHD sells the soymeal in bulk for local markets or for export.
