foxtail millet

Foxtail millet from Assam is processed into flour, ready-to-eat foods, and health products, meeting rising demand for traditional and low-glycemic foods.

Foxtail millet is a climate-resilient crop well suited to Assam’s agro-ecological conditions. It is processed into millet flour, breakfast cereals, noodles, snacks, and nutritional mixes. Its low glycemic index and high fibre content make it attractive to health-conscious consumers, people with diabetes, and wellness markets. Processing and branding enable Assam to position foxtail millet as a premium, sustainable grain.Compliance with FSSAI standards for millets, including grading and labelling, is required. For exports, meeting Codex specifications, organic standards, and residue limits is important. Uniform quality, moisture control, and modern packaging enhance competitiveness in global markets.
