Open Sesame!
Two new sesame hybrids, sesim 1 and 2, that are drought resistant, richer in oil content than local varieties, fast maturing and unlikely to bend in wind or shatter as local varieties do are being released by Uganda s Serere Agricultural Research Centre. The country currently produces 93,000 t of sesame seed annually. Its substantial untapped production potential could provide all the cooking oil required in southern Africa.
