Dear Ms. Sangeeta
First of all I want to thank you for the answer.
I also want to tell you that we are so interested in getting
sesame seed from India, but several times we have tried with
samples brought from them, and unfortunately the quality we
are expected wasn't the minimum. I refer to "quality" as the points
I have told you before (270 degrees, hulled sesame seed, etc).
I attach here the specifications, in order to cover the 100% of this sheet
to be able to send samples. I appreciate your answer and I will
wait for your quotations and comments.
Thank you and regards
