More than 500 tons of sesame are planned to grow in the north of Turkmenistan

Farmers of Dashoguz province have planned to harvest 560 tons of sesame this year. This is reported by the Internet edition "Turkmenistan: The Golden Age."

Farmers of Kunyaurgench etrap, S. Turkmenbashi etrap and Akdepi etrap are the leaders of sesame production in the velayat - more than 400 tons of the crop from the total plan of the velayat will be produced here.

Sesame shows high yields under local weather and climatic conditions - the crop needs a lot of sunlight and less water compared to other plants. High yields are achieved by applying fertilizers and timely irrigation according to agronomic norms.

Sesame seeds are highly nutritious, with a pleasant flavor and a healthy array of trace elements. The seeds can be used for cooking dishes such as pilaf and white halva, and sesame oil is widely used in medicine and cosmetology.
