Hamotome will revise the price of sesame products for business use from April 1st. In November 2010, the company raised the prices of furikake, ochazuke mix, sesame, and other household and commercial products all at once. Amid soaring freight rates and packaging materials, the company has decided to raise prices again because corporate efforts alone cannot absorb the increased cost of sesame, which relies almost 100% on imports. The revision rate varies by product.
