To promote the export of millets, 'Millets-Smart Nutritive Food' conclave has been organised by the government on 5th December in New Delhi.
Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal was the chief guest of the conclave.
This is the first conclave to be held in the pre-launch program of the International Year of Millets - 2023 (IYOM - 2023).
It was organised by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry through its apex agricultural export promotion body, Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).
Millets have higher nutritional values than commonly consumed cereals like rice and wheat.
This Conclave will be a precursor to the "International Year of Millets - 2023" event (IYoM-2023).
