Foxtail millet is relatively drought-resistant and requires less water than other grains like rice. Its cultivation contributes to sustainable agriculture practices, making it appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and farmers. Foxtail millet has cultural significance in various regions where it has been a traditional staple for centuries. This cultural heritage has sustained its consumption patterns and contributed to its market resilience. Thus, the Foxtail millet seed segment acquired 12% revenue share in the market 2023.

Millets are rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, proteins, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals like magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. Millets are an excellent choice for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance due to their inherently gluten-free nature.

Additionally, increasing consumer demand for gluten-free beer and spirits is propelling the use of millet as a primary ingredient, as it is naturally gluten-free and suitable for celiac patients and those with gluten sensitivity. Millet offers distinct and diverse flavor profiles that appeal to craft brewers and distillers seeking to differentiate their products in a competitive market. This uniqueness enhances the appeal of millet-based beverages.

However, millet cultivation often occurs on smaller scales than major grains like wheat or rice. This limits the economies of scale that larger crops benefit from, leading to higher production costs per output unit. Millet cultivation and harvesting can be more labor-intensive than mechanized processes for larger crops.
