“…Despite being a nutritional powerhouse, boasting thirty times more calcium than rice, finger millets are often overlooked and underutilized in semiarid and tropical regions [12]. However, there's substantial potential to process finger millets into a range of value-added food products, especially in developing nations [13]. Their gluten-free nature makes them suitable for individuals with gluten allergies and stomach issues [14].…”

Cereals like wheat and rice dominating food sources, millets have been underutilized despite their nutritional value and suitability for semi-arid regions. This research investigates the price spread analysis and marketing efficiency of Ragi, a millet variety, in Tamil Nadu. Focusing on Ragi cultivation in Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts, the study employed a convenient sampling technique, surveying 90 farmers and various stakeholders. Structured interviews gathered data on cultivation practices, marketing costs, and value addition. Results reveal significant marketing costs and margins, with Channel II exhibiting the highest total marketing cost and margin. Price spread analysis highlights Channel III as the most cost-efficient, with the highest producer share. Using Acharya's method, Channel III demonstrates superior marketing efficiency compared to Channels I and II. Additionally, value share analysis indicates varying benefits among actors in different marketing channels. Overall, the study underscores the importance of understanding marketing dynamics to enhance efficiency and ensure equitable distribution of benefits within the Ragi value chain in Tamil Nadu.

“…Some grains have been grown and cultivated for human consumption as well as for animal feed since the beginning of civilization. Wheat, rice, and maize are one of the most widely consumed, produced, and cultivated cereal grains (whole or fractionated), that have become a vital part of an individual's daily diet (Bhatt, Rasane, et al, 2022). Most of the world's population is heavily dependent of cereal based diets but lacks major micronutrient which poses a severe threat of nutritional insecurity for consumers (Sarita & Singh, 2016).…”

“…In 2019, it has been reported that 718 lakh ha was utilized for total area for the production of millets with production rates of 863 lakh ha tons led by Africa and followed by America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand (Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, 2022). As per 2020 production statistics, the world production of millets is reported to be 89.17 million metric tons under 74.00 million hectare area (Bhatt, Rasane et al, 2022). India is the world's largest producer and leader in production of millets with 15% share of the world total production accompanied by Niger, China, Nigeria, Mali, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Senegal (Karki et al, 2020).…”

Millets are recognized as nutritional grains that have been important for preventing the malnutrition and significantly enhancing the human health. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a C4, self pollinating millet species belonging to family Poaceae; acknowledged as Italian millet, Chinese millet or German millet. Being the oldest crops to be cultivated and produced, it is also utilized as a bird feed in African regions of the world. As far as the nutritional content is concerned, it has substantial amounts of carbohydrates (60–65 g), protein (12.3 g), fiber (6 g), minerals (Phosphorous, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, sodium), and phytochemicals (Phenols, Ferulic, chlorogenic acids, and p‐coumaric, flavonoids, carotenoids, tocopherol, and tocotrienol). Additionally foxtail millet is reported to have anti inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancerous, antihypolipidemic antihyperglycemic properties that may serve well with respect to pharmacological relevance. Apart from the medicinal prospect, its food utilization for making bakery, weaning, fermented as well as extruded goods are studied in the literature. Thus it can be mentioned that foxtail millet has a promising position in strengthening dietary quality and food security of world, thereby functioning as an emissary crop to replenish other economically valuable crops against environmental constraints even while supplying food for people and livestock via biotechnological techniques.

“…These wonder crops can withstand unfavorable climatic conditions featuring droughts, frequent climate changes, and moderate soil fertility (Bommy & Maheswari, 2016 ) and are thus recognized as “climate compliant or resilient crops.” They are the reservoir of various nutrients, containing about 60%–75% carbohydrates, 7%–11% proteins, 1.5%–5% fats, 2%–7% crude fiber, vitamins (B9, B7, B2, B1), and minerals (calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc), and phytochemicals (phenols, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins), which, in a nutshell, help combat nutritional deficiencies. Considering the nutritional value of millets, several millet‐based food products (bakery, weaning, fermented, snack, and health foods) can be prepared (Bhatt et al, 2022 ). Appearance, grain type, maturity time, morphological features, size, and seed coat color are enough to characterize different varieties of millets produced (ICRISAT, 2007 ; Sarita & Singh, 2016 ).…”

High nutrient variability and food security are the needs of the hour. Millets may be as effective as other cereal crops for dealing with severe malnutrition and increasing global population problems. Due to their physiologically active components, millets have attracted more research interest. Finger millet (FM), one of the climate‐resilient and minor cereal crop species, is well known for several health benefits, primarily attributed to its nutritional value and polyphenolic content. FM seed coat phenolics exhibit excellent anti‐diabetic, anti‐oxidant, antimicrobial, anti‐osteoporosis, wound healing, anti‐lithiatic, inhibiting collagen glycation, cross‐linking, and enzyme properties, which may serve well for the pharmacological purposes. Furthermore, the processing of FM is an important factor in its commercial use. It is necessary to invent some novel technologies to increase the productivity of FM by lowering the cost of processing and its effective utilization in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The literature presented will further explore the potential prospects of processing as well as value‐added utilization and its nutritional and pharmacological aspects in view of initiating further research in the food industry to formulate ready‐to‐eat and ready‐to‐cook products, thereby acting as future crops for sustainability.
