India is known for its surplus production of grains. Be it wheat, rice or millets, India provides its stocked-up grains to other nations as well.
Recently, millets have been a part of many government-launched events in which the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare have highlighted the benefits of this golden grain and focused on documenting its heritage.
India produces many varieties of millets that could grow in less water and are heat-resistant. The international year of millets 2023 was approved by Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) in 2018, and the United Nations General Assembly has announced 2023 as the international year of millets.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited one of Ukraine's main Black Sea ports on Friday, a week after a deal was struck with Russia, Turkey and the United Nations to create safe corridors for ships to export grains that have been trapped in the country

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy observes ships loaded with grains, first export since Russian invasion

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited one of Ukraine's main Black Sea ports on Friday, a week after a deal was struck with Russia, Turkey and the United Nations to create safe corridors for ships to export grains that have been trapped in the country since the war began five months ago. 

The visits to the ports are part of a broader push by Ukraine to show the world Ukraine is ready to export millions of tons of grains to the world again after last week's breakthrough agreement.&nbsp;

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited one of Ukraine's main Black Sea ports on Friday, a week after a deal was struck with Russia, Turkey and the United Nations to create safe corridors for ships to export grains that have been trapped in the country since the war began five months ago.
His visit to a port in the Odesa region comes as workers were seen preparing terminals for grain exports, which are relied on by millions of impoverished people worldwide facing hunger.
&ldquo;The first vessel, the first ship is being loaded since the beginning of the war,&rdquo; Zelenskyy said.
He said the export of grain will begin with the departure of several ships that were loaded but could not depart the Ukrainian ports after the Russian invasion.
&ldquo;Our side is fully prepared. We sent all the signals to our partners &mdash; the UN and Turkey, and our military guarantees the security situation,&rdquo; he said, adding &ldquo;it is important for us that Ukraine remains the guarantor of global food security." The visits to the ports are part of a broader push by Ukraine to show the world they are nearly ready to export millions of tons of grains to the world again after last week's breakthrough agreement.
The complexities of the agreement and concerns about the safety of shipping crews has set the deal off to a slow, cautious start. It's been a week since it was signed, and no grains have yet left ports. But the sides are facing a ticking clock &mdash; the deal is only good for 120 days.
It comes a week after Russian missiles struck Odesa, throwing into question Moscow's commitment to the deal signed only hours earlier. The sides agreed to facilitate the shipment of Ukrainian wheat and other grains from Black Sea routes blocked by five months of war, as well as fertilizer and food from Russia.
The goal over the next four months is to get some 20 million tons of grain out of three Ukrainian sea ports blocked since the February 24 invasion.
That provides time for about four to five large bulk carriers per day to transport grain from the ports to millions of impoverished people worldwide facing hunger.
&ldquo;We are ready,&rdquo; Ukraine's minister of infrastructure, Oleksandr Kubrakov, told reporters at the port of Odesa on Friday.
But he said Ukraine is waiting on the UN to confirm the safe corridors that will be used by ships navigating the waters, which have been mined with explosives. In the meantime, a ship at the port of Chernomorsk was being loaded with grains, he said.
Martin Griffiths, the UN official who mediated the deal, said the first shipment of grains could depart Ukrainian ports as early as Friday but cautioned that work is still being done to finalize the exact coordinates of the safest routes, saying this must be &ldquo;absolutely nailed down.&rdquo; Lloyd's List, a global publisher of shipping news, noted Friday that while UN officials are pushing for the initial voyage this week to show progress in the deal, continued uncertainty on key details will likely prevent an immediate ramping-up of shipments.

&ldquo;Until those logistical issues and detailed outlines of safeguarding procedures are disseminated, charters will not be agreed and insurers will not be underwriting shipments,&rdquo; wrote Bridget Diakun and Richard Meade of Lloyd's List.
They note, however, that UN agencies, such as the World Food Program, have already arranged to charter much of the grain for urgent humanitarian needs.
Getting wheat and other food out is critical to farmers in Ukraine, who are running out of storage capacity amid a new harvest. Those grains are vital to millions of people in Africa, parts of the Middle East and South Asia, who are already facing food shortages and, in some cases, famine.
Since the deal was signed a week ago, shipping companies have not rushed in because explosive mines are drifting in the waters, ship owners are assessing the risks and many still have questions over how the agreement will unfold.
Ukraine, Turkey and the UN have been keen to show the deal is in action since it was signed one week ago. Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar told Al Jazeera on Thursday that &ldquo;the deal has started in practice&rdquo; and that the first ship leaving Ukraine with grains is expected to depart &ldquo;very soon.&rdquo; Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu expressed similar optimism in a press briefing, framing the deal as a significant step forward between the warring sides.
&ldquo;This is not just a step being taken to lift the hurdles in front of the export of food. If implemented successfully, it will be a serious confidence-building measure for both sides,&rdquo; he said.
The deal stipulates that Russia and Ukraine will provide &ldquo;maximum assurances&rdquo; for ships that brave the journey through the Black Sea to the Ukrainian ports of Odesa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny.
For ships heading to Ukraine's three ports, smaller Ukrainian pilot boats will guide the vessels through approved corridors. The entire operation will be overseen by a Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul staffed by officials from Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations.
Once ships reach port, they will be loaded with tens of thousands of tons of grains before departing back to the Bosphorus Strait, where they will be boarded to inspect for weapons. There will likely be inspections for ships embarking to Ukraine as well.&nbsp;

The first ship carrying Ukrainian grain has set off from the port of Odesa, Turkey's defence ministry said Monday. 

First ship carrying Ukrainian grain leaves the port of Odesa

The Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship, Razoni left the port of Odesa for Lebanon carrying over 26,000 tonnes of corn, as per a statement from the United Nations.&nbsp;

The first ship carrying Ukrainian grain has set off from the port of Odesa, Turkey's defence ministry said Monday.
The Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship, Razoni left the port of Odesa for Lebanon, the ministry said.
A statement from the United Nations said the Razoni is carrying over 26,000 tonnes of corn.
The ship is expected to reach Istanbul on Tuesday, where it will be inspected, before being allowed to proceed to Lebanon, the ministry said.
Russia and Ukraine signed separate agreements with Turkey and the U.N. clearing the way for Ukraine &mdash; one of the world's key breadbaskets &mdash; to export 22 million tonnes of grain and other agricultural goods that have been stuck in Black Sea ports because of Russia's invasion.
The deals also allow Russia to export grain and fertilisers.
Turkey's defence ministry says the first ship carrying Ukrainian grain will set off from the port of Odesa on Monday.
The ministry says the Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship, Razoni, which has been loaded with corn, will depart Odesa for Lebanon.
The ministry statement said other ships would also depart Ukraine's ports through the safe corridors in line with deals signed in Istanbul on July 22, but did not provide further details.
