As per The United Nations General Assembly, the international year of millets was declared to be 2023 with the motto of achieving sustainable production of millets and raising awareness about their nutritional and health benefits. This study aims to identify and analyze scientific literature on millet varieties and technologies using Bibliometric analysis. The primary objective is to uncover the main topics, authors, sources, most-cited articles and contributing countries in this field. For this purpose, articles indexed in the Main Collections of ScienceDirect and Scopus between 2018 and 2024 were examined. The findings are presented in two parts. The first part includes a quantitative analysis, providing an overview of millet varieties and technologies through tables, graphs and maps. Key performance indicators such as article production and citation metrics are highlighted. A total of 55 articles were identified and analyzed in this study, offering valuable insights into the literature landscape. The analysis reveals that millet varieties and technologies have broad applications across various domains, ranging from adoption and livelihoods to emerging trends. The most cited papers primarily focus on millet's role in climate resilience, food security and health benefits. Additionally, recent trends indicate a growing interest in value-added millet products and sustainable farming practices. These findings underline the increasing importance of millet in addressing contemporary agricultural challenges. The study also highlights its significance in promoting food security and sustainable development, as millet technologies are adaptable to diverse environments and play a vital role in enhancing resilience to climate change. In conclusion, it emphasizes their multifaceted role and provides a robust foundation for future research and policy-making, aiming to leverage millet’s potential for sustainable agricultural development and improved livelihoods worldwide.
