Karnataka is poised to make a transformative leap in sustainable agriculture and healthy living with the establishment of a ₹20 crore Organics and Millets Hub. This landmark initiative will be unveiled at the International Trade Fair (ITF) 2025, scheduled from January 23 to 25, and underscores Karnataka's leading role in millet production and organic farming.
The Organics and Millets Hub is envisioned as a centralized platform connecting farmers, businesses, and consumers. It aims to provide state-of-the-art infrastructure to enhance the production, processing, and marketing of millet-based and organic products. The hub will empower farmers with access to domestic and international markets, ensuring better profitability while encouraging healthier dietary habits among consumers.
ITF 2025 will spotlight the immense potential of millets and organic products through interactive workshops, exhibitions, and expert panel discussions. The event highlights Karnataka’s pioneering efforts in positioning millets as a sustainable and nutritious alternative to conventional grains.
In line with the growing global emphasis on climate resilience and food security, millets stand out for their minimal water needs, drought tolerance, and environmental sustainability. The fair will showcase innovative ways to incorporate millets into modern diets, from traditional recipes to contemporary culinary creations, while emphasizing their health benefits and eco-friendly attributes.
By investing ₹20 crore in this hub, Karnataka aims to inspire more farmers to transition to organic farming and millet cultivation. This initiative aligns with the International Year of Millets, a global celebration promoting these ancient grains for their nutritional and sustainable advantages.
Karnataka’s visionary move not only empowers farmers but also supports global efforts toward a sustainable future. The ITF 2025 is set to be a landmark event, bringing together stakeholders from across the world to celebrate organics and millets while laying the foundation for a healthier and more sustainable tomorrow.
