Kodo Millet

Varagu/Kodo Millet, botanically associated with Paspalum scrobiculatum, is offered as whole or dehulled kodo millet for grain packers, millet milling and prepared-food production. The grain commonly presents small round cereal grains, while lot origin and processing influence particle size, flavour and cooking or milling behaviour.

A reference or illustrative moisture criterion for this commodity is Moisture ≤12% (illustrative trade target). An international quality schedule should specify proper dehulling, clean grain and fungal defect checks, plus moisture and permissible foreign matter. Where the food has a commodity-specific Codex standard, those published limits are shown in the technical field. Otherwise, the displayed figures are labelled illustrative export trade targets rather than universal regulatory thresholds. Dehusking, colour sorting or cleaning must be assessed according to the exact grain form.

For reliable bulk handling, consignments benefit from dry hygienic food-grade sacks, batch coding and sampling records. Receiving checks commonly cover live infestation, odour, stones, broken kernels and cargo moisture exposure. Trade documents should consistently use the listed commodity name and its processing description.
