health. The high fiber content of sorghum grain aids in the removal of LDL
cholesterol or bad cholesterol as it is more commonly known. This significantly
improves heart health and can prevent the body from a variety of cardiovascular
diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Furthermore, owing
to its ability to provide a good supply of dietary phospholipids, sorghum is
commonly utilised in animal feed. Sorghum syrup demand is being bolstered by
rising meat consumption in many parts of the world. Global meat consumption
climbed by 58% over the last 20 years, reaching 360 million tonnes in 2018, according
to the Australian Department of Agriculture.
Countries all around the world are investing in the
expansion of the sorghum seed business in order to take advantage of arid
terrain with limited water resources. Similarly, owing to the benefits, the
private sector is motivated to invest in sorghum seeds owing to the substantial
return on seed sales. Therefore, the rising use of sorghum seeds is increasing
the market.
Sorghum & Sorghum Seeds Market Challenges
The market's expansion is impeded by sorghum seeds’ short shelf life
Sorghum seed treatments can prevent seed and seedlings from
low-moderate insect attacks during the emergence and development of industrial
plants. Despite the short duration of the protection, crop loss and pest
establishment are estimated to be postponed. For instance, treated seeds have a
short shelf life, seed germination, and vigor decline at a rapid rate,
particularly in sorghum seeds. The physical and chemical properties of the
formulation have an impact on microbe survival. It is challenging to maintain
the viability of coated microorganisms in seeds, resulting in lower shelf life.
Growers have been slow to embrace beneficial agricultural strategies such as
dose-restricted pesticide usage and crop rotation. Thus, sorghum seeds’ short
shelf life is one of the key challenges for the Market. However, sorghum and
sorghum seed development are being funded and invested in by a number of firms.
For example, the World Bank-supported 87 seed sector initiatives totalling $US
513 million, with a significant concentration on marginal commodities like
sorghum supporting the market growth
