Millet Consumption Rises 30% Nationwide as Urban Middle‑Class Embrace Healthier Grains
A recent report shows a 30% jump in millet intake across India, driven by growing nutrition awareness among urban middle‑class families.
A new report indicates that domestic consumption of millets has increased by roughly 30% across the country.
The rise is attributed to heightened awareness of the nutritional value of millets and a broader health‑conscious mindset among consumers.
Middle‑class families in urban areas are now incorporating millets such as ragi, sorghum (jowar) and little millet (kangu) into their daily meals.
The trend signals a shift in dietary preferences toward traditional grains, which could influence future agricultural demand and food‑industry offerings.
