secondary processed usage forms. With UN announcing 2023 as the InternaOonal Year of
Millets, Shree Anna has now become a main stream food source grain.
India has special focus on millets in the budget 2023-24 and has the most policy friendly
ecosystem for millet entrepreneurs. With an annual producOon of 15.53 Mn tonnes, India
exported USD 64.28 Mn in 2022 and projected to reach USD 2 Bn by 2030. MILLETS INDIA

healthy and quality packaged food soluOons. Sivakumar Venugopal, Group Director,
NuernbergMesse India emphasized on the rising demand of millets, “This humble cereal has
today become a global star. The rise in demand along with the support by government has
not just prompted major food brands to invest in millet-based packaged products but has
also lot of new entrants and small entrepreneurs who are offering a variety of innovaOve and
led to the rise of unique opOons. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or an
established brand wanOng to expand the por?olio it is the right Ome to invest in the nutricereal – either way MILLETS INDIA is the go-to hub for any millet stakeholder as it is the only
