World Sesame & Peanut Conference 2025 (WSPC2025), organised by sesameinfo.in, will be held in Hyatt Regency, Istanbul, Turkey between 5 and 7, September 2025.
The conference is scheduled just around the World Food Istanbul (3-5 September, 2025) so that it would be convenient for you.
Besides being a major consumer of sesame seed, Turkey has a vibrant sesame processing industry. In recent times, Turkey has also become a major trade centre for sesame seed and value-added products of sesame seed from Turkey to European countries.
Join WSPC2025 and explore the possibilities of engaging with Turkey sesame sector and global market participants!!!
We have planned several new initiatives at WSPC2025. Check out the programme schedule for details.
Sesame seed and Peanut (Groundnut) are two of the most important edible oilseeds of the world.
Most of the production of sesame and peanut happens during June-October period. So, a conference just ahead of the most important crop season would be very purposeful for the stakeholders.
Many of the countries export both sesame seed and peanuts. For example Brazil, India, Sudan, Nigeria, Senegal to name a few.
Like-wise, China is the largest importer of both sesame seed and peanuts.
Value-addition opportunities are tremendous in both sesame and peanuts and hence continuous exchange of ideas, insights and knowledge would unlock value for the industry.
Concerns on food safety such as allergen concerns are also similar for both sesame and peanuts. Hence, here too, a collective action is very important in addressing the issues.
Based on the commonality of export and import origins, timing of majority of produce, opportunities and concerns, it was decided to combine sesame and peanuts from 2023 and make it as a single conference for the benefit of the industry.
