Millet processors from across the country gathered recently to brainstorm ways to enter the export market, under an initiative jointly led by International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), and the Institute of Millets Research (IIMR). The suggestions included trade exhibitions and promotions, effective distribution chain and market testing of products. Dr David Bergvinson, Director General of ICRISAT, said the idea was to create a millet movement as it should be made part of the daily meal.
