The global millet distribution is heavily dominated by India, representing a remarkable share compared to other countries. Key contributors include Niger and China, with noticeable year-on-year growth in India's millet production at over 3% in 2023. Significant positive growth trends were noted in Russia, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, whereas Uganda and South Korea experienced sharp declines. Notably, Botswana displayed an impressive growth surge of nearly 32%.
Future trends to watch include the impacts of climate change on production, technological advancements in agriculture, and potential shifts in global demand as millet gains popularity as a health-conscious grain alternative in international markets.
