2. INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND
2.1 About Millets
Millets include sorghum (jowar), pearl millet (bajra), finger millet (ragi), foxtail millet, small
millets, barnyard, etc. They are nutrient-dense, climate resilient cereals with high demand
in health food markets.

Raw millets have limited market value. Processing into ready-to-eat (RTE) or ready-to-cook
(RTC) products creates premium, higher margin products such as:

• Millet flakes
• Breakfast cereals

• Millet pasta
