What is International Year of Millet 2023
Millet i.e. coarse grain is said to be a very profitable crop in terms of farming. These crops give good production even in adverse conditions. The cost of cultivation of coarse grains is also not high, so farmers earn good income by selling millet produce.
India is the largest producer of Millet. Especially millet is being produced here on a large scale. This year, along with the cultivation of millet, the processing business is also being supported. Experts say that the risk of fatal diseases can be reduced by including 13 to 14 percent of coarse grains in the daily diet. Immunity is also strengthened by this.
It is thanks to India that the whole world is now becoming aware of millets. At the instance of India, the United Nations year 2023 has been declared as the International Year of Nutritious Cereals. This proposal of India was supported by 72 countries. It is being seen as a means to increase the income of farmers and remove malnutrition in the country.
