They are tropical-type (C4) plants. The millets comprise at least 11 cultivated species, all with small to tiny seeds. Sorghum and millets are notably hardy crop plants, having a low water requirement. They are predominantly cultivated in tropical and subtropical zones in Africa and Eurasia, where they were domesticated several thousand years ago. Sorghum is now also extensively cultivated in the Americas and Australia, primarily for animal feed. The traditional food and beverage uses of sorghum and millets are extremely wide. Also, they have many novel applications such as for lager beer, gluten-free products and phytochemicals, and sweet-stalked and biomass sorghums for biofuels. However, production trends reveal a disturbing picture that overall sorghum and millet production and yields have remained static over the past 25years. Furthermore, in low-income countries, yields remain chronically low.Keywords: Domestication history; End uses; Fonio; Genetics; Millets; Production statistics; Sorghum; Taxonomy; Teff DO, EL, MI, US
