The North American sorghum market is developing at an exceptionally quick pace. Sorghum can be grown as a sweet crop or as a grain and is considered one of the main five cereal crops. One species of sorghum is grown for grains, while many other species are used as fodder plants, which are either cultivated in warm climates worldwide or naturalized in pasture lands. Most varieties of the sorghum plant are drought- and heat-tolerant and are especially essential in arid regions, where the grain is one of the staples for poor and rural people. These varieties are an important part of pastures in tropical regions.
