Sesame Oil Cake Global Market Report 2026

Sesame oil cake is the solid by-product obtained after the extraction of oil from sesame seeds. It contains high levels of protein, fiber, and minerals, making it valuable for use as animal feed, fertilizer, or as a raw material in certain food and industrial applications. The cake is the pressed, defatted residue that remains once the edible oil has been separated from the seeds.

The key types of sesame oil cake include high protein (greater than 45 percent) and low protein (45 percent or less). High protein sesame oil cake refers to the variant with a residual protein content exceeding 45 percent on a dry basis. It is produced using various extraction methods, such as expeller pressing and solvent extraction, and is available in several forms, including chips, pellets, and powder. Distribution channels include direct sales, online platforms, specialty stores, and supermarkets and hypermarkets, serving applications such as animal feed, bioenergy production, and fertilizer.

Tariffs on oilseed imports and extraction machinery have elevated production costs for sesame oil cake, particularly affecting regions dependent on imported equipment and raw sesame seeds. High-protein segments and solvent-extracted varieties face the greatest impact due to increased input and processing expenses. However, tariffs have encouraged domestic oilseed processing and boosted local value-added production, supporting regional self-sufficiency and strengthening local supply chains.

Organic and sustainable farming refers to the practice of cultivating crops and raising livestock using natural methods that protect the environment, promote biodiversity, and maintain long-term soil and ecosystem health. The adoption of these practices is steadily increasing as more consumers seek healthier, chemical-free food options, encouraging farmers to move toward natural and eco-friendly cultivation methods. Organic and sustainable farming improves the quality of sesame oil cakes by producing nutrient-rich, chemical-free seeds while enhancing soil fertility and promoting environmentally responsible production. For instance, in July 2024, according to LETIS S.A., an Argentina-based organization for the certification of quality and sustainability standards, the number of organic producers increased by 26.6% from 2022 to 2024, reaching 60%.
