Singh is king: Punjab farmer exports millets globally worth Rs 38 lakh

While farmers across Punjab were toiling to gain some profit from paddy cultivation, Dilpreet Singh started sowing ragi and kodo millet in 2019, even before the government’s initiative to promote the millets. Singh has increased production and has exported 14.3 tonnes of millet and value-added products to Australia. Singh believes millets are the solution to problems such as water-level depletion and excessive usage of chemical fertilisers in Punjab.
