Niger and China follow but with much lower outputs. Notable countries like Nigeria, Mali, and Sudan show varying trends, with Sudan experiencing a substantial decrease of 9.58%. Emerging contributors such as Russia, marked by a 13.01% increase, and Zambia with a 7.99% rise, indicate growing interest in millet production. Conversely, countries like South Korea have exited the market entirely, reflecting a significant shift in regional agricultural focus.
