Data notes & caveats

Values are yields for sesame seed, not total production volumes. FAOSTAT reports the unit as kilograms per hectare. Share values are omitted because no separate comparable total is supplied. The nation universe can include territories or special reporting areas where FAOSTAT publishes them. kg/ha means kilograms per hectare.

Methodology

The ranking uses FAOSTAT Crops and Livestock Products nation rows for sesame seed, the yield measure, 2024 and kilograms per hectare. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ordered from highest to lowest and rounded consistently for display.

Source consistency notes

Rows use the same FAOSTAT Crops and Livestock Products source family, crop item, yield measure, unit and year, supporting a like-for-like nation ranking.
