Finger Millet (Ragi)

Finger millet, known as ragi, is one of the most nutritionally rich ancient cereal crops 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 importers worldwide.

Available as Whole Finger Millet grain and Finger Millet Flour, our ragi is cleaned, sorted, and packed to buyer specifications in 25 kg / 50 kg bags or 1–5 kg consumer packs with private labeling. Each consignment is exported with complete phytosanitary and shipping documentation.
