According to what we know from Ethiopia customs, from December 10, 2017 to January 11, 2018, the exportation quantity from Ethiopia to China is about 550,000 tons only within one month, covering 70% of the total exportation in Ethiopia. That is to say, there will be about 550,000 tons sesame to China in January--February,2018. This also proves why the domestic sesame price at China port didn’t follow with the overseas price to be increased, but to reduced.
