Finger Millet (Ragi)

Finger millet, known as ragi, is an ancient cereal crop cultivated in India. Grown primarily across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, it is celebrated globally for its high calcium content, rich amino acid profile, and suitability for gluten-free food formulations. Demand is strong from health food manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, and specialty grain buyers internationally.
