Abstract
Production and consumption patterns of sorghum and millet in Asia have changed significantly in the last decade. While food use is declining, non-food or industrial uses are on the increase. This has implications on crop production and marketing with the entry of private industry in coarse cereal economies. This paper highlights the recent trends in the production, consumption and trade of sorghum and millet and spells out the need for a stronger coalition of sector stakeholders as a way of developing the non-food market by effectively linking farmers with new sources of demand for these crops.
