Following the declaration of 2023 as the International Year of Millets by the United Nations General Assembly, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries is hosting Millet Mahotsavs across the country to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits, value addition, consumption, and export potential of millets. Millets are a traditional diet for almost half a billion people in Asia and Africa.
Millets are significant because of their enormous potential to develop livelihoods, enhance farmer income, and ensure global food and nutritional security. India is one of the world's largest millet growers, accounting for approximately 41 percent of global production.
