The traditional processing of pearl millet involves complex and costly methods that are not feasible for small-scale operations. This has led to several issues that affect farmers and producers:
- High Costs: Traditional machinery is expensive, making it inaccessible for small to medium-sized enterprises.
- Complex Operations: Existing machines require specialized skills, complicating the processing for average users.
- Grain Damage: Conventional methods often harm the grains, reducing both market value and nutritional quality.
- Low Efficiency: Most small-scale machines have poor throughput, affecting productivity and profitability.
