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.
