SEVERAL FACTORS HAVE LED TO THE GROWING DEMAND FOR MILLETS

Traditionally, India has a History of High Millet Consumption and Cultivation. Resilient to climate change, Millets are hardy, resilient crops that have a low carbon and water footprint, can withstand high temperatures and grow on poor soils with little or no external inputs, which makes them ideal for a populated country like India.

2023 is observed as the International Year of Millets after India's proposal to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) was approved. The Indian policymakers have enacted several policies towards millet farming systems and to create an enabling environment for the farmers.

Today India stands well poised to raise output and drive exports to tap into a growing global market. The Global Millets Market was valued at $9.95 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $14.14 Billion in 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.49% from 2021 to 2028

TESTIMONIALS

As a country we are extensively into millet cultivation and consumption but all these are restricted to small pockets for e.g. Maharashtra is rich in Jowar, Karnataka is rich in Ragi so a platform like MILLETS INDIA is a wonderful opportunity for us to network and showcase what we do, to interact and form stronger network in the industry. This will help us process more millets products and it would also help us feed the consumers with more millets based healthy products. The future lies with Millet’s industry so let’s take more interest in this industry and encourage this industry as consumers, as manufacturers and as a country.
