What is Finger Millet (Ragi)?

Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana) is a resilient cereal crop native to Africa and widely cultivated in India. Known for its high drought tolerance, this millet is particularly suited for arid regions, making it a reliable crop in unpredictable climates. But its real value lies in its nutritional profile, which supports the health, growth, and productivity of livestock and poultry.
