Sections cover: raw material supply (definition of production zones, climate, soils, farming systems; coarse grain production, acreage and yields; the competitive position of sorghum and pearl millet); finished product demand (current utilization and consumption); and market organization (dependence on imports, marketing channels, prices, and processing constraints
