    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.
