foxtail millet

Foxtail millet is a traditional small millet cultivated in limited areas of Assam and valued as a nutritious rice alternative. It offers MSMEs opportunities in processing, packaging, organic branding, and health-focused food products.

Foxtail millet is cultivated in pockets of Assam, particularly by small and marginal farmers, and is well suited to rain-fed farming conditions. It is increasingly gaining attention as a nutritious and healthy alternative to rice due to its dietary fibre and low glycaemic properties. Foxtail millet can be processed into flour, flakes, ready-to-cook products, snacks, and other value-added foods, creating opportunities for MSMEs in processing, packaging, branding, and marketing. Businesses can develop organic, traditional, and health-focused products for niche domestic markets and explore export opportunities by meeting relevant food safety, quality, certification, packaging, labelling, and export documentation requirements.
