dc.description.abstractPractical innovations are helping to increase millet consumption and farmer incomes by making it easier to process, sell, and consume millets. New post-harvest processing equipment reduces dehulling time by 70-90%, freeing up women for other agricultural and entrepreneurial activities; better business models help governments and companies expand millet production and distribution across India and throughout Asia and Africa where small millet production remains a key crop for smallholder farmers. This project profile provides updates on next steps.en
