🌾📈 India’s ‘Other Cereals’ Exports Record Over 108% Growth in March 2026

India’s agricultural export sector witnessed a remarkable surge in March 2026, with exports of “other cereals” more than doubling year-on-year. According to government data, export value rose from $0.03 billion in March 2025 to $0.06 billion in March 2026, marking an impressive growth of over 108%. 🌍

✨ Key Highlights:
✔️ Sharp Growth: Exports doubled within a year, showing strong demand
✔️ Category Scope: Includes coarse grains like jowar, bajra, maize, and ragi
✔️ Global Demand: Increased exports driven by rising demand in Middle East markets
✔️ Export Momentum: Contributed significantly to India’s overall merchandise export growth in March 2026

This surge highlights the growing global acceptance of India’s coarse grains, often valued for their nutritional benefits and adaptability to changing climate conditions. The rise in demand also reflects shifting consumption patterns, with international markets increasingly exploring healthier and sustainable food options.

Experts note that this growth aligns with India’s broader strategy to diversify its agricultural export basket beyond traditional staples. By promoting millets and other coarse grains, India is not only boosting farmer incomes but also strengthening its position in global agri-trade.

🚀 With continued focus on market expansion and value-added exports, the “other cereals” segment is expected to remain a key contributor to India’s export growth in the coming years.
