PRODUCTION SCENARIO
3.1 MILLETS PRODUCTION OF INDIA
India is the largest producer of millets followed by Sudan and Nigeria. Millet production is concentrated mainly in
dry and arid regions where rainfall is low and erratic In India, millets are mostly cultivated in Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh,Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand states. Rajasthan (87 % of
Bajra area), Maharashtra (75 %of sorghum area) and Karnataka (54 %of Ragi and 32 %of Bajra) occupy maximum
area of millets (Stanly and Shanmugam, 2013). Now a days, the productivity of millets is boosting through
technologies and high yielding varieties.
