Field Test - Sesame Harvest in Brazil

Sesame It has become a very important crop in the state of Mato Grosso due to its low planting costs and very good returns. The average harvest is between 600 and 1,000 kilograms per hectare. The biggest difficulty is harvesting. When the seed is ready for harvest, it is loose in an open pod.

When the reel touches the plant a good part of the seeds fall on the ground and on the harvester's cutting bar and are lost. The Crary® Wind System™ (CWS) arrived in the state to practically save sesame losses. In addition to the CWS, some farmers remove 50% of the reel bars and place a guard to prevent the seeds from being blown off the platform. In 2022, Brazil exported 41 thousand tons of sesame, in 2023 it exported 151 thousand tons, an increase of 257%. The average price per ton of sesame for export is US$1,400.00 to US$1,500.00 Example of test results carried out in Mato Grosso with Sesame being harvested using Crary Wind System The collection is done with this device below which has the following dimensions:
