Sorghum

Sorghum, known as jowar in India, is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world and a key grain in global food security and animal feed. India is a major producer, with cultivation centred in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. Indian sorghum is exported for livestock feed, starch processing, brewing, and as a gluten-free food grain with demand spanning Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Geodhara International exports premium Indian sorghum sourced from the major jowar-growing regions of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Available in White Sorghum, Red Sorghum, and Yellow Sorghum varieties, our sorghum is cleaned, sorted, and graded to buyer specifications for moisture, admixture, and broken grain content. Each consignment is inspected and exported with complete phytosanitary and shipping documentation.

We supply poultry and livestock feed manufacturers, breweries, starch processors, flour millers, and grain importers across the Middle East, East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe with consistent quality, competitive pricing, and full export documentation.

Uses & Benefits

  • The primary application for Indian sorghum export is livestock and poultry feed, where it serves as an energy-rich grain comparable to maize.
  • Used in brewing — white sorghum is a key raw material in the production of sorghum beer and traditional opaque beer in African markets.
  • Processed into sorghum flour and meal for use in flatbreads, porridge, injera (Ethiopian flatbread), and gluten-free food products.
  • Used in the production of industrial starch, glucose syrup, and bioethanol.
  • Sorghum straw is used as fodder and biomass, and the crop's drought resistance makes it a critical food security grain in arid and semi-arid regions.
