Sesame Central Framework

The Sesame Central Program Framework provides a comprehensive roadmap for developing a sustainable and commercially viable sesame industry in Australia. Bringing together research, development and extension activities, the framework outlines key priorities across agronomy, crop protection, mechanisation, farming systems, post-harvest management and market development.

Backed by AgriFutures Australia and the CRC for Developing Northern Australia, the program coordinates national research efforts, industry collaboration and knowledge sharing to address production challenges, improve crop performance and build strong value chains. It supports growers, researchers and stakeholders with practical insights, best practice guidance and evidence-based strategies to accelerate industry growth across both northern and southern region
