Market Drivers of the market

The India Sorghum market has been experiencing steady growth due to multiple drivers. Sorghum, also known as jowar, is a drought-resistant and versatile crop, making it suitable for cultivation in various agro-climatic regions of India. Its utilization as both human food and animal feed has contributed to its increasing demand. The growing awareness about the nutritional benefits of sorghum, such as being gluten-free and rich in fiber and antioxidants, has driven its consumption. Additionally, sorghum`s application in the production of ethanol and other industrial products has further boosted the market. Government support through subsidies and initiatives to promote sorghum cultivation for food security and sustainable agriculture has also played a significant role in driving the market.

Challenges of the Market

The sorghum market in India faces several challenges, including fluctuating production levels due to climate variability and pest infestations. Sorghum is often grown in rain-fed regions, making it susceptible to weather-related risks such as drought and irregular rainfall.Another challenge is the competition from other staple grains and cereals, such as rice and wheat, which are more widely consumed in India. Limited consumer awareness and preference for sorghum-based products can hinder market growth and restrict market demand.Additionally, the lack of modern processing and value addition facilities for sorghum products can limit the market`s potential. The sorghum industry must invest in innovative processing technologies to create a diverse range of products that cater to changing consumer preferences.

However, sorghum`s status as a drought-resistant crop and its use as a staple food in certain regions helped maintain a baseline demand.
