Global Millets Market Overview

The production of Rice and Wheat in South Asia is highly dependent on four factors – Labour, Water, Capital, and Energy. These resources are not available in abundance. The scarcity of these resources creates trouble for the production process. These issues are further aggravated due to the unavailability of underground water, Soil Fertility, and Lesser Land availability. The unavailability of these resources makes the production process very expensive at times. This is further deteriorated by the sudden storms affecting parts of South East Asia. Thus, there is uncertainty in the production of Rice and Wheat. This uncertainty is compensated by the rise in the production of Millet.

Thus, the unsustainable production of Rice and Wheat is acting as a wonderful driver to produce Millet. Millets are rich in Fibre, Proteins, Vitamins, etc. Millets contain essential fats which are important for the body. They give the exact amount of fat intake required.
