finger millet

Finger millet is a nutrient-rich millet cultivated in upland and tribal areas of Assam, known for its high calcium, iron, and fibre content. It offers MSMEs opportunities in millet-based foods, processing, packaging, and health-focused products.

Finger millet is traditionally cultivated in rain-fed, upland, and tribal areas of Assam and is valued for its nutritional benefits, particularly its high calcium, iron, and dietary fibre content. It is used in products such as flour, porridge, traditional foods, snacks, and health-focused food products. The crop contributes to tribal livelihoods and supports climate-resilient and diversified agriculture in the state. Growing consumer interest in nutritious and millet-based foods creates opportunities for MSMEs in processing, value addition, packaging, branding, and marketing, including women-led enterprises. Businesses can also explore domestic and export markets by meeting food safety, quality, packaging, labelling, certification, and export documentation requirements.
