What are the key constraints and problems (e.g., low productivity, market linkages, consumer awareness, processing gaps) that need to be addressed for effective millet promotion in Uttar Pradesh?
Himanshu Tiwari
Key constraints for effective millet promotion in Uttar Pradesh include:
- Low productivity: Limited availability of improved, high-yielding, and climate-resilient millet varieties.
- Weak market linkages: Inadequate supply chains, price volatility, and limited access to institutional buyers.
- Consumer awareness: Low demand due to limited knowledge of nutritional benefits and culinary uses of millets.
- Processing gaps: Scarcity of processing units, modern milling technology, and value-added product development.
- Post-harvest losses: Poor storage, handling, and logistics infrastructure.
- Policy and incentive limitations: Inconsistent support for millet cultivation compared to staple cereals.
- Research and extension challenges: Limited farmer training, demonstration plots, and dissemination of best practices.
Addressing these constraints is crucial to strengthen millet production, adoption, and consumption in the state.
