Millet primary processing units are emerging as critical interventions in strengthening the farm-to-market journey of Shree Anna (millets). By enabling the cleaning, dehusking, grading, and polishing services these units substantially reduce post-harvest losses and ensure consistent supply of quality grains. Their role extends beyond processing, as they serve as growth hubs for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and rural entrepreneurs. To support the establishment of such facilities, ICAR-IIMR has developed a model machinery layout that offers a practical blueprint for efficient operations. This design provides information on strategic placement of millet primary processing unit in cost-effective, safe, and farmer friendly way. This model demonstrates how technology and infrastructure integrated thoughtfully for enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of machines in rural context. These processing units also open avenues for value addition, entrepreneurship, and employment generation. By improving the availability of nutritious millets, they contribute to healthier diets, dietary diversification, and sustainable food systems. Ultimately, millet processing units become enablers of farmer prosperity, rural enterprise development, and ecological resilience.
