The upcoming NABARD-BusinessLine Millets Conclave will focus on finding solutions to improve the nutritional and financial security of stakeholders involved in the millets sector. The conclave is set to bring together experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss the challenges faced by farmers, processors, and consumers in the millets industry.

One of the primary objectives of the conclave is to highlight the significance of millets as a crop that can contribute towards achieving nutritional security in India. Millets are known for their rich nutrient content, including high dietary fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance.

The conclave will also address the financial security aspect for stakeholders involved in the millets value chain. It aims to explore ways to enhance the income and livelihood opportunities for farmers engaged in millet cultivation. The discussion will revolve around creating market linkages, promoting value-added millet products, and developing sustainable business models.

Additionally, the conclave will provide a platform for stakeholders to share their experiences and best practices in millet cultivation, processing, and marketing. The sessions will include panel discussions, presentations, and interactive sessions to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration.

The NABARD-BusinessLine Millets Conclave is expected to lay the foundation for strategic interventions and policy recommendations that can foster the growth of the millets sector. By addressing the issues of nutritional and financial security, the conclave aims to promote millets as a sustainable and lucrative crop option for farmers while ensuring improved access to nutritious food for consumers.
