KIM is a medium-maturing grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety primarily intended for food use. The grain is naked (without hulls), has an oval shape with an elliptical profile, and is light yellow in color. The endosperm is glassy in three-quarters of the grain, ensuring high-quality raw materials. The weight of 1000 grains is about 23 grams. The grain contains 11.8% protein, 74.8% starch, and 4.3% fat, making it suitable for starch, alcohol, and grain-feed production.
The KIM variety is distinguished by its good adaptation to the conditions of the North Caucasus region, where it is included in the state register. Thanks to its characteristics, the grain of this sorghum is widely used in the food industry and feed production. The high content of starch and protein ensures effective application in processing and the production of various products.
The KIM variety is characterized by resistance to adverse conditions, which contributes to stable yields. The light yellow color of the grain and the high quality of the raw materials make this variety in demand on the market. The use of KIM in starch and alcohol production allows obtaining high-quality products, as well as using the grain as a full-value feed component.
