abstract: Sorghum and pearl millet are SADC's second and third
most important cereal grains in terms of production area.
Farmers in southern Africa annually sow over 1.9 million
ha of sorghum and 0.9 million ha of pearl millet (Table 1).
This compares with an aggregate production area of 12
million ha of maize. The area sown to sorghum and pearl
millet in SADC has generally been increasing with the
growth of smallholder farming populations.
