Pakistan’s agricultural sector just scored a major win — sesame seed exports to China surged 87% in the first nine months of 2025, reaching nearly US $69 million, according to trade data.
This surge comes as Chinese demand for edible oils rises, and Pakistani farmers in Sindh and Punjab adopt better irrigation and hybrid seed systems under the CPEC trade umbrella.
Exporters say improved traceability and packaging standards have opened new markets, with potential expansion to Japan and South Korea.
Economists call this “a quiet revolution in agriculture,” as Pakistan diversifies away from traditional cotton and rice exports. But experts warn sustainability will depend on price stability and climate resilience. Bottom line: From farms to freight ships, Pakistan’s sesame success is proof that smart trade policies can pay off big.
