1. Data for Angola not included as the millet figures are combined with those of sorghum.Source: Accurate figures on millet production and particularly on species-wise composition, are difficult to obtain. These figures are based on official country statistics and FAO estimates for 1981-85 production, revised to obtain the 1992-94 average. The revision was based on relative proportions of the different millets in the 1981-85 production. Updated information on species-wise composition of the 1992-94 production was provided by respondents (usually millet scientists and extension personnel) to ICRISAT questionnaires.
