Strength-

India is the world's largest millet-producing country. Due to high health benefits, the demand of millet is rising rapidly. UN observed the year 2023 as 'Millet Year' and the Government of India celebrates Millet Year as Sri Anna year. So several measures have been adopted to promote millets in India and the world. Madhya Pradesh is one of the producers of millet in India.

Weakness:

The export of both products is less than one crore. So no export market is developed for both products.

Opportunities:

Due to increased e-commerce and publicity of millets, Kodo Kutki have a huge opportunity in the domestic and international markets. Farmers and processors are now equipped with export knowledge and will contribute to exports.

Threats:

Agro products are subject to quality, taste, and cultural aspects. If the product cannot absorbed in local culture, there will be no development in Exports.
