  • A good sesame harvest has been prepared in Dashoguz velayat

    Oct 20th, 2025

    This year, oilseeds were grown and harvested from 560 hectares in the velayat. The average yield was ten centners per hectare. Farmers in the Kunya-Urgench, S. Turkmenbashi, and Turkmenbashi districts were among the main producers of this valuable raw material. In a region where sesame has a rich history of cultivation, farmers strive to select the most suitable plots for planting. Although sesame is not very demanding regarding soil composition, it produces particularly good yields on fertile soils. The crop is considered drought-resistant and heat-loving, requiring sunny weather throughout the growing season. Selecting planting material and preparing the soil for sowing are crucial for achieving a high yield. Local farmers strive to select varieties with high oil yields. Sesame oil is especially prized in the region. Sesame oil not only adds a distinctive flavor to pilaf but is also extremely beneficial for the body. It is believed to contain even more components than olive oil. Locals believe this oil has remarkable healing properties. The cake resulting from oil production is valuable livestock feed, and the seeds are used in confectionery and other food industries, as well as in traditional medicine.
