OVERVIEW<br />

• <strong>Sorghum</strong> is a versatile crop, which belongs to the grass family Poaceae. It is used as<br />

human feed and livestock feed and the rest is turned into ethanol. It is a popular<br />

crop to grow within the drier regions, since it is drought resistant and shows<br />

efficient yields even in regions with scarcity of water.<br />

• <strong>Sorghum</strong> is efficient in converting solar energy to chemical energy, and also uses<br />

less water compared to other grain crops. Biofuel is produced using sweet and<br />

biomass sorghum and is being developed with biomass, which can be turned into<br />

syngas, charcoal, and bio-oil.<br />

• Increase in demand for gluten free feed is expected to provide lucrative<br />

opportunities for the players operating in the global sorghum and sorghum seeds<br />

market.
