Millets have potential to fight poverty and increase food security through various untapped markets and uses. Improving seeds, farm inputs and practices such as microdosing can significantly boost millet production, such as increasing yields in Niger by 55%. Millets are a crucial staple and traditional crop for the 2.5 billion people living in drylands, yet average rainfed sorghum yields remain low compared to realistic potential yields, indicating there is room for improved farming techniques to better utilize millets.
