Sesame seed, popularly called beninseed, is one of the cash crops that mostly attract the attention of farmers because of the quick money those cultivating it make after harvest. Many rural farmers, especially women, cultivate the crop in large quantities to make a living. In the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), many communities transport sesame to Kwali market for sale, from where trailers load the commodity to parts of the country. The market has also helped in engaging some unemployed youths who load and offload the commodity. Food vendors also make brisk business. Daily Trust on Sunday further gathered that 75 per cent of sesame farmers are women due to its ‘easy’ cultivation and harvest process. The planting season of the crop mostly takes place between September and October when the rains are subsiding, and its harvest starts from the end of October. It was also gathered that it is at the peak of harvest that farmers smile to the banks after selling the crop.Speaking with our reporter, Mrs Rabi Usman, a native of Kilankwa community, a sesame farmer who brought a large quantity of the commodity to the market in Kwali, said she had been into farming for over 15 years.Mrs Usman, who said she had achieved a lot from sesame farming, said she was able to build a house and bought two pick-up vans through the venture.She said she always engaged the services of labourers in her 25-hectare farm
