The Hyderabad, India based Millets International Media Portal (MIMP) is promoting August 30 as an annual "World Millets Day." https://www.millets.news/article/milletsnews-calls-on-global-millet-communit... This is also being promoted by the World Millets Federation (WMF). The two organizations are connected through Indian business mentor Prasanna Srinivas Sarakadam, who is the editor of MIMP and founding member of WMF. This info from a Tanzanian news outlet, Diramakini at https://www.diramakini.co.tz/2026/08/world-millets-federation-pushes-august.... WMF is a new international millets business platform, with website at https://wmf.eco/ The reason for choosing August 30 for this observance is not clear from sources consulted. We do not at this time see buy-in from major international organizations with interests in millets, such as ICRISAT or FAO, or national level research institutes such as IIMR in India., During the International Year of Millets, I raised the topic of a World Millets Week, rather than just a Day (on Collab, but also with FAO): https://lists.millets2023.space/archives/list/collab@lists.millets2023.space... Obviously, if the World Millets Day is established, NAMA will support it. Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance
