Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop cultivated in the derived, northern and southern Guinea, Sudan and Sahel Savannah of Nigeria. It is used in many homes and has a lot of potential uses as an industrial and commercial crop. There is a considerable improvement in sesame seed production and the demand for sesame seed is on the increase. Thus, improved varieties of sesame have been released to farmers towards the sustainable production of sesame seed in Nigeria. This paper further looks at economic potential of sesame production, production trend, prospects for large-scale production, industrial, commercial and local uses as well as strategies for sustainable sesame production. Further research needs and focus for promoting the crop are also highlighted.
