Description
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.
