Millets are considered superfoods due to the number of benefits they provide to humans. For smallholder and marginal farmers, millets offer economic stability due to their low input costs and adaptability to different ecological zones. The revival and promotion of millets can lead to increased biodiversity, and by tapping into the growing market for nutritious and health-conscious foods, farmers can achieve higher economic returns. Millets can enhance national and global food security by diversifying food sources beyond the major cereals. The progress and trend analysis of important millets such as Sorghum, Bajra, Ragi, and small millets is made in the study. It is found that the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2011-12 to 2021-22 for the area under Finger Millet (Ragi) is positive, which is 0.29 percent, while it is negative for Sorghum, Bajra, small millets, and total millets. From the trend analysis of the available data from 2011–12 to 2021–22, it is found that due to competition from other crops, the area will fall continuously. In trend analysis, from 2022–23 to 2029–30, in Bajra, the production will range from 99.25 lakh tons in 2022–23 to 104.76 lakh tons in 2029–30. While the production will fall for all other millets in the given period. Millets face a number of challenges, such as low yields, low input crops, low demand, and less awareness about their benefits. However, sincere efforts are made by the government in the form of new schemes, concessions, awareness programmes, trade, and research support to increase the area and productivity of millets. One such significant effort is the declaration of 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Such promotional support will certainly increase the area and production of millets in India.
