Pearl millet is an annual grass that grows up to about 3 meters tall, with a robust root system. As global demand for pearl millet continues to rise, the export of this grain from South Africa has significantly increased, with tonnes of millet being shipped each year. Known for its numerous health and medicinal benefits, pearl millet is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. As a result, the export of pearl millet from South Africa is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. South African pearl millet exporters are seeing substantial revenue from these exports to various countries.
