In 2023, India remains the predominant producer of millet, contributing 39.67% to global production, followed by Niger (11.06%) and China (8.78%). Over the past year, there has been notable growth in Russia's production (+13.01%), while Uganda experienced a significant decline (-13.19%). Countries like Botswana (+31.95%) and Zimbabwe (+9.18%) showed substantial year-on-year increases, highlighting dynamic shifts within smaller markets. Conversely, South Korea saw a sharp decrease in its millet production share.
For future trends, attention should be given to the growing importance of climate resilience in agriculture, which might influence production capacities and shifts in export strategies by leading producers. Watch for emerging markets to potentially increase their presence, driven by technological advancements and market access. Sustainability practices are also likely to shape long-term production trends and geographical shifts in global millet outputs.
