Answers

Thomas,

could you be more specific as to what "Sesam" is? I did try to go to a Turkish to English translator but it couldn't find the word.

Once we figure out exactly what by-product you are describing, we will then perhaps be able to assist you.

Is that 'sesame'? As in sesame seed?

I recommend you get in contact with the American Embassy there and talk with their Agricultural Specialist. They should have access to extensive information and possibilities.
