Simple Fundamental analysis of bajra

2. BAJRA
 Botanical name for the largest type of millet plant in
India is Pennisetum glaucum. Even though, it is
indigenous to Africa, the plant is grown in the largest
number in India.
 For poor people, this form of millet is supposedly the
staple diet. Mostly in the dry and arid climates, bajra
crop is produced in large quantities.
 Since bajra is a form of millet, also known as pearl
millet, it is suitable to be grown in semi arid climates,
where hot and dry lands occur for short periods.

3. CUMBU PRODUCTION:
 India is also the largest producer of bajra or pearl
millet in the world.
 In India, the total area over which bajra is grown is
around 11.34 million hectares, from where the total
amount of the cereal produced is about 5.5 million
tons. Many hybrid and composite varieties of bajra are
found in India these days, which are small in height
and grow very quickly and mature faster than the local
varieties, which are longer and mature quite late.

6. CROPPING PATTERN:
 Pearl millet in both districts is planted as a sole
crop.Moreover, pearl millet is regarded both as a main
crop and secondary crop (Figs. 4 and 5). The meaning
of amain crop is that the larger area is cultivated with
that crop.
 Farmers in Junagadh who consider pearl millet as a
main crop, cultivate chickpea (25%), sugarcane
(12.5%), vegetables (25%), maize (12.5%) and fodder
crops (37.5%) like sorghum and lucerne ( Medicago
sativa) as secondary crops. Planting dates for
rabi season crop starts in late September to October.

7. INDIAN SCENARIO OF BAJRA:
 Every 100 gm bajra contains more proteins 10 gm, fat 5 gm,
minerals 2 gm, carbohydrates 67 gm calcium 42 mg and
phosphorous 296 mg. Compared to rice and Pearl millet
production and yield data analysis revealed that CAGRs for
the period 1997-2009 is about 0.39, in area 0.33 production
and 0. 26 in productivity exhibiting the positive growth
rate of area, production and yield though the crop is
cultivated on marginal lands.
 To gear up adoption of pearl millet into the crop complex
again research has to play a vital role by developing high
yielding suitable varieties with high grain and fodder
yields.

13. PRICE LEVEL OF BAJRA:
 Bajra prices firmed up by Rs 30 per quintal in
lacklustre trade at the wholesale grain market today
due to increased demand by consuming industries.
However, other grains after moving in a narrow range
in limited deals settled around previous levels.
 Traders said pick-up in demand from consuming
industries against restricted supplies from producing
regions mainly kept bajra prices higher. In the national
capital, bajra rose Rs 30 to Rs 1,330-1,335 per quintal.

15. DEMAND FOR BAJRA:
 In western India, in 2011, food needs are major source
of demand for pearl millet grain followed by cattle
feed,alcohol industry, poultry industry and seed
requirements.
