Sorghum is known for its ability to withstand adverse conditions like drought, heat, and waterlogging caused by erratic rainfall. This is just one of the reasons it is considered a good alternative to planting maize.
Although there are a number of sorghum species, it is mainly Sorghum bicolor, native to Africa, that is produced for human consumption.
Sorghum is primarily used around the world in the production of grain for products such as porridge, sorghum molasses and syrup, alcoholic beverages, and biofuels. Its versatility makes it a great alternative to other types of grains, grasses and cereals, and it can be considered the fifth most important cereal crop
