Cereals; millet, other than seed

HS v2017 Code: 100829

About cereals; millet, other than seed

HS code 100829 covers millet, a type of cereal grain that is widely cultivated and consumed around the world. Millet is an important staple food in many developing countries, particularly in Africa and Asia, where it serves as a key source of nutrition and sustenance. As a resilient and drought-resistant crop, millet plays a significant role in global food security and the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

Millet is primarily grown through traditional farming methods. The crop is typically sown by hand or using basic agricultural equipment, and it thrives in arid and semi-arid regions with low rainfall. Millet is harvested manually or with the aid of small-scale machinery, and the grains are then processed, often through drying, cleaning, and milling, to prepare them for consumption or further processing.

Production inputs

The production of millet requires relatively few inputs compared to other cereal crops. The main inputs include arable land, basic farming tools and equipment, and a reliable water source, either from rainfall or irrigation. Millet is also relatively low in its demand for fertilizers and pesticides, making it an attractive option for smallholder farmers with limited resources.

Production outputs

Millet is primarily consumed as a food grain, either as a staple in its whole form or processed into flour, porridge, or other food products. The millet grains produced under HS code 100829 Cereals; millet, other than seed may be further processed and classified under other HS codes, such as 110812 Cereal flours; millet, 110813 Cereal groats, meal and pellets; millet, or 190490 (Cereals; other than maize (corn), in grain form, pre-cooked or otherwise prepared), depending on the final product form.
