Much less is known about the\r\nindustrial utilization of the crop and the market opportunities this presents for poor sorghum\r\nproducers. This study documents the emerging patterns of industrial utilization and provides evidence\r\nthat between 10-40% of rainy-season sorghum is used for nonfood uses. Postrainy-season sorghum\r\nutilization remains solely for food purposes as it is not price competitive as an industrial raw material.\r\nThe main utilization sectors are the poultry feed sector (approximately 0.5 million t per year); the dairy\r\nfeed sector (approximately 0.2 million t per year); and the grain alcohol sector (approximately 0.1\r\nmillion t per year). In the most important utilization sector, poultry feed, sorghum utilization is related\r\nto the price of competing cereals, particularly maize. Sorghum is used when prices are 20-30% lower\r\nthan that of maize. With the demand for poultry feed estimated to be 15% per year, and with limited\r\nopportunities for increased maize production, the demand for sorghum is likely to strengthen.\r\nHowever, the impact of trade liberalization and particularly maize imports will have to be considered.\r\nInstitutional arrangements linking the key utilization industries and related public sector research have\r\nin the past been weak. Improving these linkages through public-private sector partnerships would help\r\nto further support private sector market development for a commodity produced by some of India's\r\npoorest farmers.\r\nThis publication is an output from a research project funded by the United Kingdom Department\r\nfor International Development for the benefit of developing countries.
