Abstract
Tur is grown on an area of about 5.5 million ha with an output of nearly 4.3 million tonnes globally. The cultivation is primarily confined to developing countries, mostly in Asia and Africa. Asia accounted for about 85% of the world acreage and 83% of the total world tur production, while Africa’s share in world acreage and production was about 13 and 15%, respectively during TE2012 (FAO, 2014).
