Abstract
The latest data on millet land use confirms that India will have the largest millet cultivation area in 2022. This trend has continued over the past few years, indicating that India holds a major position in millet production. Millet is one of the important cereals in India, and its large cultivation area contributes to food security in the country. Millet cultivation also impacts the local economy, and is one of the important sources of income in the agricultural economy. However, millet cultivation has constraints such as climatic conditions and water resources, and efforts towards sustainable production are also required. Taking these factors into consideration, countries around the world, including India, are considering strategies for millet cultivation and are working towards achieving food security and sustainable agriculture.
Land use of millet (around the world)
Looking at the long-term trends in land use for millet, India recorded the highest land use of 20.9 Mha in 1973, and has been gradually decreasing since then. As of 2022, it will be 8.49 Mha, a 40.7% decrease from the peak. This decrease is due to changes in India’s agricultural structure and changes in land use due to economic growth. It is possible that the area cultivated with millet is decreasing due to urbanization and industrialization of farmland and improvement of agricultural productivity. Government agricultural policies and changes in domestic and international demand are also influencing this. On the other hand, the area cultivated with millet may be increasing in other countries, which suggests that the agricultural structure of the world is diversifying. Such trends vary depending on factors such as agricultural conditions, economic conditions, and policies in each region, so it is important to promote agricultural policies and sustainable agriculture in each country.
The maximum is 20.9Mha[1973] of India, and the current value is about 40.7%
Millet land use (latest year, countries around the world)
The 2022 data on millet land use will provide insight into the characteristics and trends across the world. India has the largest millet cultivation area, covering an area of 8.49 Mha. This figure accounts for approximately 28.2% of the total millet cultivation area in the world. The average area is 396 kha, which indicates the spread of millet cultivation around the world. The total millet cultivation area worldwide is 30.1 Mha, which indicates that millet is a globally important cereal. This data reveals that millet cultivation is widespread worldwide, with India being a major producer. Millet plays an important role in food security, supporting part of the food supply in many countries. Millet cultivation also contributes to the local economy and supports the livelihood of agricultural communities. However, millet cultivation is subject to climatic conditions and water resource constraints, and efforts towards sustainable production are required. In addition, the effects of changes in global food demand and climate change must also be taken into account. As a result, countries are examining strategies for millet cultivation and working towards achieving sustainable agriculture.
The maximum is 8.49Mha of India, the average is 400kha, and the total is 30Mha
Millet land use (continent)
From the data in 1961, Asia has the largest area of land use for millet, with a record of 28.7 Mha. The largest area of millet cultivation in Asia at this time indicates the importance of millet in the region’s agriculture. Millet is one of the major cereal grains in the Asian region and has a significant impact on food security and agricultural economy. The largest area of millet cultivation during this period indicates that Asia was particularly important in millet production. In areas where agriculture is the main means of livelihood, millet cultivation may have been the basis of the local economy. It is also possible that millet production expanded to meet the growing population and food demand in the Asian region at that time. These characteristics and trends are influenced by the climatic conditions, agricultural development level, and policies of the region, so it is necessary to take into account the agricultural structure and economic situation of each country and region. The data on millet cultivation suggests that it is important to understand the characteristics and importance of agriculture in each region and to take measures to promote sustainable agriculture.
The maximum is 28.7Mha[1967] of Asia, and the current value is about 35.9%
Millet land use (latest year, mainland)
From the data for 2022, Africa has the largest area for millet land use, with a record of 19 Mha. This shows the importance of millet cultivation in the African region. Millet is one of the major cereals in Africa and contributes greatly to the region’s food security and agricultural economy. In addition, the average millet cultivation area in Africa is 4.98 Mha, which indicates that millet cultivation is widespread throughout the region. It can be seen that millet cultivation plays an important role as the foundation of agriculture in the African region. This data makes it clear that Africa occupies a major position globally in millet cultivation. The millet cultivation area in the entire region of 29.9 Mha suggests that the African region plays an important role in global millet production. However, millet cultivation is subject to climatic conditions and water resource constraints, and efforts toward sustainable production are necessary. In addition, the effects of economic development and changes in food demand throughout the African region must also be taken into account. Therefore, it is important for each country and region to consider strategies for millet cultivation and advance efforts toward promoting sustainable agriculture.
The maximum is 19Mha of Africa, the average is 4.98Mha, and the total is 29.9Mha
