AUSTRIA

Austria is a landlocked country of approximately 9 million inhabitants in Central Europe. It is bordered by the
Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and
Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west.The territory of Austria covers 83,878 square kilometres (32,385 sq
mi) and has a temperate and alpine climate.Austria is a parliamentary representative democracy.Austria is one
of the wealthiest countries in the world, with a nominal per capita GDP of $58.861 (2021 est.). As a federal
republic, Austria is comprised of nine independent federal states (also referred to as provinces): Burgenland,
Carinthia, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria,Tyrol,Vorarlberg andVienna. (Source: OECD Data).
In 2021, Austria's total agricultural and related products imports were $21.1 billion and exports were $23.6
billion. In total, about 84% of all imported agricultural products came from the EU, and 76% of all exported
goods were delivered to EU Member States. Austria's most important agricultural trading partners are
Germany and Italy.

The recent heat waves and Covid-19 of Europe will permanently change the agricultural crop production and
consumption pattern of food.The consumer awareness regarding sustainable production systems in agriculture
is on the increase in this country. Over 10% of the Austrian supermarket turnover from fresh organic produce is
evidence towards ready to accept sustainable products like millet. The agriculture producer behavior and
consumer trend provides a deep opportunity to undertake export promotion of millets in Austria. A leading
tourist destination with 9% of its GDP, the Austria could be a consumer gate way of millet in EU.

Currently, the estimated millet production of Austria is 80,292 Metric Ton. It is the 4th largest millet producer
within Europe. During the middle of last century, the intensive cultivation of wheat and maize replaced oats,
millet or buckwheat in the Alpine regions of Austria. Re-cereal is a European transnational project to
reintroduce these millet varieties.This project will alter food consumption pattern of Austria and Europe. Even
millet may become an industrial raw material of 21st century.

TYPES OF MILLETS
2.1 PEARL MILLETS (BAJRA)
The most extensively cultivated millet is pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum, P.
typhoides, P.tyhpideum, and P. americanum). Large stems, leaves, and heads
characterise this summer cereal grass. In terms of farmed land and contributions to
food security in parts of Africa and Asia that can only produce limited amounts of
other crops, pearl millet is the most significant species of millet. Compared to other
millet such as sorghum or maize, it utilizes moisture more effectively. Condensed
panicles (spiked) measuring 10 to 150 cm in length, support the grain.Under
conditions of heat and drought, pearl millet has the highest yield potential of all
millets.Pearl millet can be beneficial in the process of weight loss as it is high in fiber
content and also give satiety as it takes a longer time to pass through the stomach to
the intestine. It has been found that due to its high fibre content risk of occurrence
of gall stone is low. Pearl millet had phosphorus and a rich source of calcium which
helps to attain peak bone density

2.3 FINGER MILLETS (RAGI)
Another significant staple grain in Eastern Africa and Asia is finger millet (Eleusine
coracana), often known as ragi in India (India, Nepal).At the top of the stem, the plant
has many spikes or "fingers." The grains are tiny(1-2 mm in diameter). Finger millet
grains are rich in minerals, dietary fibre, polyphenols, and proteins. Finger millet,
which is rich in calcium plays an important role in growing children, pregnant women
as well as people suffering from obesity, diabetes and malnutrition. It contains high
amount of potassium for the proper functioning of the kidneys and brains and allows
the brain and muscles to work smoothly.

2.4 SMALL MILLETS

A. FOXTAIL MILLET(VARAGU)
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) an annual grass plant, produces seeds that
possess health-promoting properties owing to its unique protein composition
containing a high content of essential amino acids.It is one of the earliest
cultivated crops, extensively grown in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia
and Africa, as well as in some other economically developed countries of the
world where it is more commonly used as bird feed. Antinutrients like phytic
acid and tannin present in this millet can be reduced to undetectable amounts
by using the proper processing methods.Additionally, the millet is said to have
antioxidant, low-glycemic index, and hypolipidemic properties.

B. BARNYARD MILLET
Barnyard millet (Echinochloacrusgalli, E. colona), is a short duration crop that
can grow in adverse environmental conditions with almost no input and can
withstand various biotic and abiotic stresses. In addition to these agronomic
advantages, the grains are valued for their high nutritional value and lower
expense as compared to major cereals like rice, wheat, and maize. It contains a
rich source of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and, most notably, micronutrients
like iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) that are related to numerous health benefits. All
these features make barnyard millet an ideal supplementary crop for
subsistence farmers and also as an alternate crop during the failure of
monsoons in rice/major crop cultivating areas.

C. KODO MILLET
In India, Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum) grown mostly in the Deccan
region and the cultivation extends to the foothills of Himalayas. Kodo millet is
rich in dietary fiber and minerals like iron, antioxidant. The phosphorus
content in kodo millet is lower than any other millet and its antioxidant
potential is much higher than any other millet and major cereals, higher
amount of antioxidants helps against oxidative stress and maintain glucose
concentrations in type-2 diabetes. Kodo millet is useful in curing asthma,
migraine, blood pressure, heart attack and atherosclerosis, diabetic heart
disease and for postmenopausal in females.

D. PROSO MILLET
Proso-millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an underutilized crop which is highly
nutritious cereal grain used for human consumption, bird seed, and/or ethanol
production. Grains of proso millet are a rich source of vitamins (niacin, B-
complex vitamins, folic acid), minerals (P, Ca, Zn, Fe) and essential amino acids
(methionine and cysteine), starch, and phenolic compounds like antioxidants
and betaglucans. Seeds also contain components with healing benefits, which
decrease the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in blood and injury
to the liver and high lecithin content which supports the neural health system

7
E. LITTLE MILLET
Little Millet (Panicum miliare) is one among the minor millets grown to a
limited extent all over India up to altitudes of 2100 m. It is a relative of proso
millet but the seeds of little millet are much smaller than proso millet. with
their low carbohydrate content, slow digestibility and low water-soluble gum
content. The complex carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, antioxidant
content present in them helps to prevent metabolic disorders like diabetes,
cancer, obesity etc.

SCENARIO
3.1 MILLETS PRODUCTION OF INDIA
India is the largest producer of millets followed by Sudan and Nigeria. Millet production is concentrated mainly in
dry and arid regions where rainfall is low and erratic In India, millets are mostly cultivated in Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh,Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand states. Rajasthan (87 % of
Bajra area), Maharashtra (75 %of sorghum area) and Karnataka (54 %of Ragi and 32 %of Bajra) occupy maximum
area of millets (Stanly and Shanmugam, 2013). Now a days, the productivity of millets is boosting through
technologies and high yielding varieties.

3.2 MILLETS PRODUCTION OF WORLD
Developing countries produce and consume around 97% of the world's millets and only a small fraction comes from the rest
of the world.The average data of millet production of different continents indicated that Asia is the largest producer of millets
(13.2 Mt) followed by Africa (6.9 Mt), Europe (2.3 Mt), America (0.32 Mt), and Oceania (0.03 Mt). In Asia, millet production
concentrates mainly in India, China, and Nepal.With 37.5% of global output, India is the largest producer of millets followed by
Sudan and Nigeria. In India, millet production is concentrated mainly in dry and arid regions where rainfall is low and erratic.
The most widely produced millet is pearl millet, which is mainly grown in the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat,
Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana which accounts for 56% (9 Mt) of total millets production in India.

Africa contributes to a major share in global millets


production because millets are an important staple
food in larger part of the continent.The major millet
producing African countries are Niger, Nigeria,
Sudan, Mali, Ethiopia, Senegal, Burkina Faso etc. In
America, the United States is the major North
American millet producing country whereas in
South America it is dominated by Argentina. Millets
production in Europe is concentrated in the drier
regions of Eastern Europe and shares 90% of the
region.
