“…The period I indicates a negative trend due to green revolution which focused on high yielding varieties of crops and it providing high preference to paddy and maize cultivation which intern help the farmers in getting high profit. The same result was lined in Arun Pandiyan et al [8] and Pandey and Bolia [9]. During the second period (2001 to 2012), the area under millet cultivation was continued to decrease with a compound annual growth rate of -4.92 per cent and with the production declining at a compound annual growth rate of -1.80 per cent while the productivity was indicating a positive annual growth rate of 3.26 per cent.…”

The Nutrient rich millet crops can be cultivated in adverse soil and climate conditions. As a behest from India United Nations with the aim of creating awareness, to increase production and consumption of millets declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Hence the study focussed on estimating the growth performance of Nutri cereals (Millets) in India. The growth performance was estimated using the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). The secondary data on millets area, production and productivity from 1992 to 2021 were collected from various publications like Indiastat and APEDA. This study revealed that the area and production is declining for the past three periods as a result of the green revolution. There was a significant increase in productivity in the last two periods due to the introduction of high yielding, pest and disease resistant varieties. This study will help in understanding the growth trend of millet during the periods and be able to suggest ways in increasing area, production and productivity of millet cultivation in India.

“…More than 25000 farmers from various FPOs viz., Aland, Hulsoor, Shorapur, Vizianagaram, Anantapur, and Vishakhapatnam were benefited through this primary processing (Sarnaik et al, 2020). For strengthening the millet value chain ICAR-IIMR has taken this initiative (Table 2) by engaging FPOs/SHGs/rural women/ unemployed youth in hands on training on preparing value added products and delivering them through GeM portal, ONDC, SFAC and online platforms (Pandey & Bolia, 2023). Anshu & Chaddha (2021) in their study revealed similar type of results that establishment of millet processing units at farm gate helped millet farmers to generate ensured profits by reducing cost of cultivation.…”

“…P.M. Narendra Modi for their efforts in promotion of millets during this IYOM-2023. Integrated approach to enhance value chain efficiencies of millets are establishment of primary processing units at farm gate, efficient sourcing of millets, increase transparency, develop processing facilities, build partnerships, promote consumer awareness, increase demand and assures economies of scale to millet growers (Pandey & Bolia, 2023). FPOs are the key functionaries that boost and strengthen millet value chain that increase farmer income by establishing primary processing unit at farm gate (highlighted in 97 th Mann Ki Baat by PM).…”

Millets are a group of small-seeded “Nutri-Cereals” that are grown as food crops in many parts of the world and is need of hour for achieving nutritional security. In the traditional supply chain, millet farmers were not getting remunerative prices but being the members in Farmers’ Producer Organizations, the share in the consumer rupee was increased. The value chain approach was used for analyzing the supply chain aspects of millets to strengthen the linkages, increase efficiency, competitiveness, and profitability. The study was conducted during 2022-23 with ICAR-IIMR promoting FPOs. The establishment of a primary processing unit by ICAR-IIMR at the FPO farm gate through the FPO strengthened the millet value chain by engaging FPOs/SHGs/rural women/unemployed youth in preparing value-added products and delivering them through the GeM portal, ONDC, FPO Bazar, and e-commerce platforms. To meet the millet value chain challenges overall adoption of improved technologies, better market linkages, and increased investment in infrastructure were the key strategies. Primary processing, value-added technology adoption by FPOs and declaring minimum support price by the state government, and creating facilities to procure at MSP by establishing millet food parks, millet shakti cafes, and millet bazar were found key sources to generate better income.

“…The advanced technologies established in rice, wheat, and maize for crop management, processing, value addition, and exports value chains can be directly followed in millets to achieve the targets. Millet research in the early 2000s focused on production and later shifted to consumption, which established considerable importance to demand creation and promotion through centers of excellences for entrepreneurial development, market linkages, and awareness campaigns (Pandey & Bolia, 2023).…”

Millets gained a great attention at the global level in 2023 which is celebrated as the “International Year of Millets” to create awareness to eventually promote consumption and production. An attempt is made here to understand the cultivation and production dynamics of millets as influenced by their demand and supply. We also assess challenges and emerging opportunities to make millets more productive, competitive, and relevant to future farming. Millets registered a 60% decline in area and a 200% rise in productivity, but production has remained the same during the last seven decades. The demand of millets decreased as food due to greater incentives (purchasing grain at a pre‐determined price) and policies (distribution of grains to the public at a subsidized rate) in favor of wheat and rice. Millets would play a greater role in future agriculture due to challenges posed by climate change, limited water supply, and reduced agro‐biodiversity. This would need a much greater intensity of investment in millet research and adequate support as extended to wheat and rice. Increased emphasis on their genetic improvement and agronomic management is required to develop cultivars, using new tools and technologies, with high production potential and adequate environmental adaptation to make millets competitive with other crops. Mainstreaming the nutritional traits in millet breeding is also critically important to develop high‐yielding cultivars with improved grain quality traits. Promoting millet consumption would remain the key issue for increasing their demand as food, feed, and industrial raw materials through policies and awareness programs. Strengthening of value chain will help in diversifying agri‐food production system and creating an ecosystem for millet promotion.
