the reporter learned from Chengdu Yimin that 280 tons of sesame seeds imported directly from Mozambique, Africa, arrived at Qingdao Port smoothly. This is the first time that sesame seeds originating from Africa have entered the Chengdu market through overseas direct purchase channels after the 2024 China-Africa Cooperation Forum. Mozambique is an important "Belt and Road" country in southeastern Africa. Its unique climatic conditions make it an ideal place for high-quality sesame cultivation.
