Indian Sorghum — A Versatile Commodity
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), known as jowar in Maharashtra and dadar in some regions, is one of the world's five most important cereal crops. India is among the top ten sorghum producers globally, with production concentrated in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Rajasthan.
Our Chopda facility is well positioned for sorghum procurement — Khandesh and Marathwada in Maharashtra are major sorghum-growing zones. We source rabi (winter) and kharif (monsoon) sorghum, which differ in colour (white-cream vs reddish) and tannin content, making them suited to different end uses.
Raw farm-level sorghum in India often contains 3–5% impurities — weed seeds, stones, chaff, soil and broken grains. Our processing line destones, aspirates and screen-grades the grain to produce uniform, clean lots at 98%+ purity, ready for container shipment or direct supply to feed mills.
Sorghum Grades We Supply

White or cream sorghum with low tannin content. Suitable for direct human consumption — jowar roti, upma, porridge, sorghum flour — and for export to markets where sorghum is a dietary staple (Africa, India domestic).

Key End Uses of Sorghum
Poultry & Livestock Feed
Feed-grade sorghum is used as an energy grain in broiler, layer and swine rations — often substituting maize when price dynamics favour it.
Human Food (Jowar Roti)
A dietary staple in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Rajasthan. White jowar flour is used for flatbreads, upma and porridge.
Sorghum Flour
Milled into flour for jowar roti, gluten-free baking applications and traditional African ugali/tô.
Starch & Glucose
Wet-milling of food-grade sorghum produces starch used in food manufacturing, adhesives and textile sizing.
Ethanol / Biofuel
Sorghum is a feedstock for ethanol production, increasingly used under India's Ethanol Blending Programme.
Malting & Brewing
White sorghum is used for sorghum-based beer and malt beverages in Africa and increasingly in gluten-free markets.
