HS v2022 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 climates. After the millet plants have matured, the grains are harvested manually or using small-scale machinery. Post-harvest processing often involves drying, threshing, and cleaning the millet grains to prepare them for consumption or further processing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for millet production include arable land, water, and labor. Millet is well-suited to grow in poor soil conditions and with limited water availability, making it a viable option for farmers in regions with limited resources. Additionally, millet cultivation often relies on basic agricultural tools and equipment, such as hoes, sickles, and threshing machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 100829 is millet grain, which can be consumed directly as a food staple or used as an ingredient in various food products. Millet grains may also be processed into flour, used as animal feed, or employed in the production of 110812 Cereal flours, 110813 Cereal groats, meal and pellets, and 230250 Bran, sharps and other residues. The versatility of millet makes it a valuable commodity in both domestic and international trade.
