Sorghum Cereal

Sorghum seeds, derived from the sorghum plant, are a versatile cereal grain widely cultivated for food, animal feed, and industrial purposes. These seeds are a dietary staple in many regions and come in various varieties, including white, red, and brown sorghum. Sorghum is prized for its resilience in arid conditions and its applications in making flour, syrup, animal feed, and even biofuels. We Are The Wholesale Supplier and Exporter Of Sorghum.

Suited for growing in poor soils in partly arid areas, sorghum has long been an export favourite due to its low fat, low sodium, carbohydrate and vitamin rich nutritional values. Related to sugar cane and millet, sorghum is Australia�??s third largest crop and a staple for breads and cereals that are commercially or domestically produced across the world. Thanks to world leading research into pest and disease resistant grains, Australian sorghum has a reputation not only for its high quality and taste, but also for its long shelf life due to the excellence of Australian standard bulk handling and transportation systems. Our team at Nzac Foods are proud to have established a professional and communicative relationship with some of the biggest sorghum producers in the northern growing regions of Australia; it is through this network we are able to offer fast transportation of sorghum to any port across the globe.

Sorghum seeds has been, for centuries, one of the most important staple foods for millions of poor rural people in the semiarid tropics of Asia and Africa. For some impoverished regions of the world, sorghum remains a principal source of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals. Grain sorghum is the third most important cereal crop grown in the United States and the fifth most important cereal crop grown in the world. With available resources at our disposal, we have the capacity to supply (export) more than 1000-3000MT of Sorghum seeds monthly.

Sorghum is related to sugar cane and to millet and is called Great Millet in some areas of West Africa. It is an important staple food of the upland, drier parts of Africa and India where no other cereal can successfully be raised. Sorghum is able to grow in soils that are quite poorly nourished, with an unreliable water supply. Different varieties of sorghum range in colour from white and pale yellow to deep red, purple and brown. Sorghum is the third largest crop produced in Australia. It is produced primarily in the northern growing region of Australia with an average annual production of over 2 million tonnes.

Sorghum, a versatile and resilient grass, is known for its edible starchy seeds and has numerous uses across different industries. In South Africa, it's commonly referred to as Jowar, Cholam, or Jonna. The demand for sorghum has been steadily increasing, and as a result, the export of sorghum from South Africa has seen significant growth. The South African sorghum exporter plays a key role in meeting global demand by exporting substantial quantities of this crop each year. This growing trend presents a valuable opportunity for South African sorghum exporters to expand their business and tap into international markets. The export includes various varieties and grades of sorghum, catering to different market needs. Specification Product Name Sorghum Origin South Africa Family Poaceae Binomial name Sorghum bicolor
