Abstract

Sesame is one of the most commonly consumed foods either in fresh as raw seeds or processed. Sesame seeds contain 50-60 per cent oil. The study was aimed to document the constraints in procurement and processing of sesame in the study region. Three districts Jagtial, Nirmal and Nizamabad were selected from Northern Telangana Zone where sesame production was highest. Random sampling method was used to select the sesame processors. A total of 30 sesame oil units were selected from three districts for collecting data. The collected data has been analysed through Garette Ranking Technique. The major constraints faced by the processors at different stages of processing of sesame in the study region were high cost of machinery, insufficient funds from the financial institutions, lack of quality raw material, high cost for machinery repairs and maintenance, lack of efficient market for the final product and lack of awareness about the product.
