The United Nations declared 2023 the International Year of Millet to raise awareness of the importance of this high-quality grain in the global food economy. Millet is an important staple food in many parts of the world, particularly in Africa and Asia. It is highly nutritious, gluten-free, and has a low glycemic index, making it an ideal food for people with dietary restrictions.

Saroj Agro Industries , the parent company of the Vijay Gold and Mastercook brands, is proud to support the International Year of Millets. The company is a pioneer in promoting the use of millets in modern diets and has been manufacturing millet products for decades.

Vijay Gold and Mastercook brands We offer a wide range of whole grain millet products, including kodo millet, foxtail millet, ragi flour, jowar flour, and bajra flour.

The declaration of 2023 as the International Year of Millet aims to raise awareness of the importance of millet for global food security, poverty reduction, and sustainable agriculture. Millet is a group of small-seeded grasses that has been cultivated for millennia and plays an important role in the diets of millions of people worldwide, particularly in Africa and Asia.

The International Year of Millet is crucial because millet is a highly nutritious and sustainable crop. It requires very little water and is resistant to pests and diseases, making it an excellent choice for farmers in resource-limited regions. Millet is also rich in protein, fiber, and micronutrients, making it an important food source, especially for vulnerable populations.
