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.
