Traders offer as high as 7,000 Br for a quintal of sesame at the floor of the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX).
It is a historic-high offer recorded in the history of the Exchange and registered as traders face a shortage of sesame because of the war in North Ethiopia and the instability in Western Oromia.
A record-high offer has been also given for a quintal of a green mung bean, receiving an offer of 7,807 Br a quintal. It is twice the offer given the same period last year.
