Sorghum

Sorghum

Sorghum from Assam is processed into flour, snacks, animal feed, and industrial products, offering opportunities in health food and sustainable agriculture markets.

Sorghum is increasingly recognised for its drought tolerance, nutritional benefits, and versatility. In Assam, it is processed into jowar flour, multigrain blends, snacks, breakfast foods, livestock feed, and industrial starch products. Its gluten-free nature and high antioxidant content make it attractive to health-conscious consumers and export markets.Imports of processing machinery and storage systems may attract customs duties, with concessions available under MSME and agro-processing programmes. Compliance with FSSAI regulations, grading, and labelling norms is essential for domestic markets.For exports, adherence to international food safety standards, Codex guidelines, and residue limits is required.
