Sorghum Price Questions
- What are the key characteristics of sorghum that affect its handling and processing?
- Sorghum is a hardy C4 plant that thrives in hot, dry climates and tolerates high temperatures and water shortages. It grows 1 to 4 meters tall and produces dense panicles with small, rounded grains of various colors. The crop is typically rain‑fed, requires temperatures of 25–35 °C for optimal growth, and can be cultivated on marginal soils with low fertility.
- How should sorghum grain be stored to maintain its quality?
- Grain should be kept dry and protected from moisture to prevent spoilage, as sorghum grains are harvested when hard and dry. Maintaining low humidity and cool temperatures helps preserve its carbohydrate, protein, and fiber content, as well as the bioactive phenolic compounds.
- What are common processing uses for sorghum after harvest?
- Sorghum is used as a staple food in porridge, flatbreads, and fermented drinks, and also serves as livestock feed. Its residues are employed for thatching, fuel, and fodder, while the grain can be processed into brewing, ethanol, and other industrial applications.
