Sustainable Millet Supply

In the 21st century, climate changes, water scarcity, increasing world population, rising food prices, and other socioeconomic impacts are generating a great threat to agriculture and food security worldwide. Cereal grains are the most important source of the world’s food and have a significant role in the human diet throughout the world.

Millets are environmentally friendly and is one of the most important drought‐resistant crops. Many farmers practice ‘akkadi’, a mixed cropping system that increases on-farm biodiversity and sustainability. This method increases farm productivity by improving soil fertility and making plants stronger, thus enabling them to fight off pests and diseases.

The global millet production was estimated at 27.8 million tons – India, Niger, and China are the largest producers of millet in the world, accounting for more than 55% of global production. The global millet consumption has declined at a rate of 0.9% and expected to witness positive movement during the forecast period.

Our team regularly check the fields inspecting the crop rotation, and also that the soil is well-drained and firm before planting. From planting through to harvesting and hulling, it is closely controlled to have the best quality possible and ensure a sustainable production.
