Description Production and consumption patterns of sorghum and millet in Asia have changed
significantly in the last decade. While food use is declining, non-food or industrial
uses are on the increase. This has implications on crop production and marketing
with the entry of private industry in coarse cereal economies. This paper highlights
the recent trends in the production, consumption and trade of sorghum and millet
and spells out the need for a stronger coalition of sector stakeholders as a way of
developing the non-food market by effectively linking farmers with new sources of
demand for these crops.
