Kordofan region is one of the most important traditional
producers of sesame in Sudan. This study analysed the sesame
crop value chain of Kordofan region from producers to
processors in terms of material flows, information flows and
relationships within and between the actors that constitute the
value chain. The study also determined constraints and
opportunities in the sesame production and processing system.
The study used qualitative (functional analysis and flowcharts,
mapping the current sesame value chain), strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats matrix (SWOT) analysis
to determine constraints and opportunities in the chain and
quantitative (financial analysis) methods of analysis. The study
suggested a set of value chain development policy strategy
interventions to improve sesame production and processing.
