Finger Millet (Ragi): –

Finger Millet, commonly known as Ragi in India and Africa, is a highly nutritious cereal grain that has been a dietary staple in traditional cultures for centuries. Scientifically classified as Eleusine coracana, Ragi belongs to the millet family and thrives in arid and semi-arid regions. Its resilience to harsh climates, low input requirement, and ability to grow in nutrient-poor soils make it an ideal crop for sustainable agriculture.

India is the largest producer of Ragi globally, with Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra being key cultivation zones. At Godhani International, we source export-grade Finger Millet directly from trusted farms and process it using advanced grading and cleaning systems to ensure maximum purity, nutritional integrity, and food safety. We supply Ragi in whole grain form as well as in milled flour, customized to suit both human consumption and industrial use.

Ragi is prized for its impressive nutritional profile—rich in calcium, iron, dietary fiber, and essential amino acids. It is a gluten-free super grain often used in diabetic-friendly, weight-loss, and baby foods. With growing global demand for ancient grains and functional foods, Finger Millet has become a sought-after ingredient in health-conscious markets worldwide.
