The collaboration seeks to advance millet processing technologies and enhance the industrial application of millets in India.
Swiss technology firm, Bühler India has announced a strategic collaboration with Nutrihub. Nutrihub is the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Govt. of India supported Technology Business Incubator hosted by the Indian Institute of Millet Research, ICAR – IIMR, Hyderabad.
The collaboration seeks to advance millet processing technologies and enhance the industrial application of millets in India. IIMR conducts strategic research to increase the productivity of millets and their diversified utilization at a national level.
India produces approximately 19-20 million tons of millet annually, yet only about 2 million tons are processed on an industrial scale. Bühler India, in collaboration with Nutrihub-IIMR, is committed to tackling the challenges in millet processing, focusing on extending shelf life, enhancing flour properties, and increasing processing yields.
A key part of this initiative is researching the most effective grinding methods to achieve superior product quality at Bühler’s Application Centre and Analytical Laboratory. The Application Centre fosters collaborative partnerships between industry experts and partners, featuring six process lines and over 30 machines to conduct comprehensive product and machine trials. Meanwhile, the Analytical Laboratory performs detailed physical, chemical, and quality analyses of grains to ensure superior product quality, reinforcing our commitment to advancing grinding techniques.
