Grains are an important and very common part of our daily diet. Everywhere around the world, grains are used for multiple purposes. It is so because grains have some great nutrients stored within. The multi utility of grains has made them a farmer’s favourite and the resulting impact of this is clearly seen in the grains trading industry. Grains importer and grains exporter have maintained that grains are a profitable commodity for them. As a trading company that processes, imports and exports various agricultural goods, we too have seen the commercial viability in the export of grains. In India, the farming and harvesting of grains is a widespread activity. This is because India is the largest producer of grains in the world! “India’s foodgrains, consisting of rice, wheat, pulses and coarse cereals, production, will likely be a record 316.06 million tonne (mt) for the 2021-22 crop year (July-June)” (Source: www.financialexpress.com).  

Grains exporters say that the high consumption of grains comes from the high-volume daily intake of the same. Let us, for example, take the pulses. Indian pulses like moong dal, chana dal, urad dal and toor dal comprise eighty percent of the Indian food platter. Be it lunch or dinner, there is always a food preparation of dal that is present in an Indian’s daily diet.  

You might think that these grains are staple food choices because of their easy availability and affordability. But fact be told, these grains are actually so loved by consumers and grains exporter as well as grains importer in India alike because of the nutritional content they carry. Grains are a large group of food and while specifically they carry their own unique health gifts, generally too they are rich in iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, antioxidants and Vitamin B.
