# Millet market: strong Indian demand for bajra and firm global prices

> Indian bajra prices strengthened despite a reported increase in production of more than half, as robust feed and industrial demand absorbed additional supply. Millet prices in China, Ukraine, and Poland also edged higher, with buyers turning to bajra as an alternative feed grain amid higher prices for competing ingredients.

## Why it matters

Strong feed demand and substitution from costlier grains support bajra prices despite increased Indian production. Firmer millet prices in several exporting origins could raise costs for feed buyers and support competing cereal prices at the margin.
