In a global market where sesame seeds are fast becoming one of Africa’s most valuable export commodities, Courtyard Farms is raising the bar with a model built on quality, traceability, and farmer empowerment. The company’s entry into sesame production isn’t just another agricultural expansion — it is a deliberate step toward redefining standards across the value chain.
🌱 Superior Agronomy That Starts from the Soil Up
Courtyard Farms approaches sesame farming with the same precision applied to its cocoa operations. This includes:
The use of high-yield, disease-resistant varieties
Soil testing and regenerative farming practices
Farmer training programs on planting density, pest control, and water use efficiency
The result is consistent grain quality and higher productivity per hectare, placing local farmers on a stronger economic footing.
🏭 Premium Post-Harvest Handling for Global Markets
Sesame is highly sensitive to contamination and moisture — two common challenges in African exports. Courtyard Farms addresses this by implementing:
Controlled drying systems
Clean, modern threshing and hulling processes
Strict sorting and grading protocols
Moisture calibration that aligns with international requirements
These standards ensure that the seeds maintain their color, purity, and oil content — all key metrics global buyers look for.
🔗 Full Traceability and Market Confidence
Courtyard Farms understands that buyers increasingly demand transparency. Through digital recordkeeping and structured aggregation, the company offers:
Batch traceability from farm to warehouse
Clear documentation for export compliance
Quality verification at every stage
This makes its sesame products highly attractive to exporters, processors, and international food manufacturers who prioritize reliability.
🌍 Empowering Smallholder Farmers Across Regions
The company also works closely with small-scale producers, offering:
Guaranteed offtake
Training in best practices
Access to better seedlings
Support in meeting export standards
By strengthening the communities that grow sesame, Courtyard Farms is driving rural transformation rooted in sustainability and shared value.
🚀 A New Benchmark for Africa’s Sesame Industry
With rising global demand — especially from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe — Courtyard Farms is positioning Africa not merely as a raw material supplier but as a premium, consistent, and trusted source of high-grade sesame seeds.
The company’s approach blends modern agricultural science with grassroots empowerment, creating a model that others in the continent are beginning to emulate.
