The ‘Organics & Millets 2017-National Trade Fair’ is a national conference and exposition on vista of opportunities in agriculture, horticulture, processing and marketing.

The ‘Organics & Millets 2017-National Trade Fair’ is a national conference

and exposition on opportunities in agriculture and horticulture,

processing and marketing. The event offers an excellent opportunity for

farmers, buyers, sellers and exporters of organic produces and millets.

This fair also gives a platform for organic product processors,

manufacturers of farm equipment and others to showcase their respective

products and expertise in organic and millet related areas. The fair serves

as an important confluence for all organic stakeholders for the promotion

of trade and sharing information and knowledge about organic

agribusiness. In Karnataka, Organic & Millet farmers have been organized

into 14 Regional Federations. They produce a wide ranging variety of

organic & millet crops. This trade fair is an ideal platform to connect with

this wide producer base. It is a one stop opportunity to source your

requirement of organic and millet crops.

The deterioration of global environment and soil health due to

excessive use of chemical fertilizers to raise crop production has

caused an alarm. Lifestyle related diseases and disorders have become

a major health concern all over the world.

The food habits of people both in India and abroad are being oriented

towards natural foods and high fibre diet with increasing awareness

on health care and fitness. This change has brought in focused thrust

to organic farming and a renewed interest in the consumption of

Millets.

India with nearly 6 million hectares under certified organic cultivation

produces a variety of agriculture and horticulture crops. In addition to

meeting its huge domestic market, India is also becoming a major

exporter of organic produces and Millets. Millets, more commonly

known these days as “Super Food”, are a group of highly variable

small-seeded grass. These gluten-free grains are powerhouses of fiber,

calcium, proteins and minerals.

Organics & Millets 2017 -National Trade Fair

43.7 million hectares of land (1% of total

agricultural land) is being managed

organically by 2 million producers across

172 countries the world over. The area

under organic cultivation and the global

organic food market is increasing at an

annual rate of 10% and 12%, respectively,

over the last 14 years and global market is

estimated to reach USD 80 billion by 2018.

Organic farming and its potentialOrganic farming aims at production of quality and safe agricultural

products which do not contain any chemical residues. It follows eco-

friendly production methods and farming systems that restore and

maintain soil fertility. Organic Farming is gaining momentum all over

the world as it offers a means to address food self reliance, rural

development and nature conservation.

Indian ScenarioAs on March 2016, India has brought

57.09 lakh ha under organic certification. India

exported 2.64 lakh tons of various commodities

worth about Rs. 1,900 crore, which account for

0.3% of total global organic trade.

Karnataka ScenarioKarnataka stands 5th in the country in terms of total

cultivated area under organic certification at 93,963 ha as

on March 2016 and 3rd in terms of total certified

production at 2,82,633 tons. This is an indication of the

immense opportunities available to the state in view of

its inherent advantages of climate and diversified

production. Important crop commodities exported from

the state are cane sugar, mango pulp, cashew nuts,

pineapple juice, etc. Other crops that have high export

potential and can be given enhanced thrust and focus

for organic farming and export are coffee, coconut,

spices, pulses, medicinal and aromatic crops. Fruits and

fruit products also have a huge future potential.

Health benefits of consuming millets

Millets are small seeded cereals and grains that are

indigenous to India and African countries. Millets are

considered to have been cultivated in India from pre-

historic times. Their importance as food can be realized

from the fact that millets are being cultivated in an area

of about 30 million acres in India.

Millets require 70% less water than rice. They require no

pesticides and minimal chemical fertilizers making them

mostly organic and environment friendly. They are low

cost crops and can be grown well even in marginal lands,

with low rainfall.

Millets are nutritional powerhouses high in proteins,

dietary fibre, B complex vitamins, essential amino acids,

folic acid and Vitamin E. They are particularly high in

minerals such as Iron, Magnesium, Copper, Phosphorous,

Zinc, Calcium and Potassium. The nutritional and health

benefits of millets have created a surge in demand for a

variety of millets.
