ICAR-IIMR with World Bank support partnered with industry giant ITC, they embarked on a journey for reviving the demand for millets in India. ICAR-IIMR recognized the need for a holistic approach and brought together a consortium of stakeholders – farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), industry leaders, state millet missions, and even upcoming entrepreneurs. This collaborative spirit was key to the success.
The journey began with empowering 3,000 farmers with the knowledge and support to cultivate millets based on specific end-product demands. This ensured not only quality crops but also maximized yield and income potential for the farmers.
But cultivation was just one part of the journey. ICAR-IIMR, in collaboration with PJTSAU (Erstwhile ANGRAU), addressed the processing bottleneck through developed and standardized innovative technologies to create a wider variety of millet-based, value-added products. This eliminated the traditional processing inconveniences and paved the way for a more consumer-friendly millet experience.
To ensure the health and nutritional assurance, ICAR-IIMR partnered with NIN to conduct a clinical trial for evaluation and certification. This established the undeniable nutritional superiority of millet food products compared to other cereals.
With a strong foundation laid, ICAR-IIMR now turned its focus to market creation through commercialization which witnessed a landmark decision – the launch of “eatrite, a brand owned by ICAR-IIMR. This pilot commercialization in Hyderabad proved the viability of millet-based products and paved the way for wider market acceptance.
