The USDA classifies teff as *Eragrostis tef* of the grass family, and the USDA-NRCS describes it as a summer annual herbaceous plant, explaining that sowing depth and the preparation of a firm seedbed are important due to the very small size of the seeds. ( USDA Plant Database )

Research literature listed in FAO AGRIS summarizes that teff is a grain native to Ethiopia and Eritrea, serving as a primary ingredient in traditional fermented foods such as injera in Ethiopia, and is used in the processing of various foods including whole grain flour, bread, and pasta. ( Agris )

Plant Identity

USDA Plants and APHIS identify the scientific name of teff as Eragrostis tef and use Teff, Tef, etc., as common names. ( ACIR )

Product Master

Although teff is being studied as a grain that inherently lacks gluten proteins like wheat, barley, and rye, actual gluten-free product labeling requires separate verification of the raw material itself and any cross-contact during the manufacturing process . USDA research also explains that teff has been used in gluten-free foods. ( ARS )

The USDA-NRCS explains that teff seeds are very small, with approximately 1 million seeds per pound, and advises that shallow sowing and firm seedbeds are important. Since these figures are from the Iowa Cover Crop Technical Data, they are not directly applied as standard sowing values ​​for edible teff in Korea. ( Natural Resources Conservation Service )

Lodging has been studied as one of the major cultivation problems for teff. Related international research indicates that severe lodging can occur alongside increased ear weight, demonstrating the need to manage variety, planting, fertilization, and weather data together. ( Agris )

Korean production structure

Domestic Teff Cultivation Area:  To be entered after verification of official raw data
Domestic Teff Production Volume: To be entered after verification of official raw data

In the current v1.0 version, since the domestic exclusive cultivation area and production volume of teff based on nationally approved statistics could not be verified, cultivation cases and online sales volumes are not substituted with national production statistics.

Therefore, it is appropriate to manage domestic teff not as a “large-scale Korean production crop” but as a pilot crop to verify its domestic adaptability, cultivation suitability, processing capabilities, and import substitution potential .

Trade Management

The international customs classification of Teff may vary by country, and in this v1.0, since the current HSK of the Korea Customs Service could not officially confirm a Teff-only tariff code, no arbitrary HS Code is assigned.

Domestic Teff Import Volume, Value, Major Countries of Origin, and Customs Clearance Unit Price:  To be entered later after verification of official raw data from the Korea Customs Service

The import volume included in other millet or other grain HS codes is not arbitrarily converted into a figure for teff alone.

A review listed in FAO AGRIS concludes that whole teff flour can be used in foods such as bread and pasta, and USDA research also demonstrates that research on the food processing of teff flour has been ongoing. ( Agris )

Possible areas for byproduct utilization review:

Feed · Hay · Compost · Fermentation · Food Materials · Biomaterials · Waste Reduction

The conversion of food, functional, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic materials into products is carried out after confirming official safety, legal usability, and research evidence .

PRP — Product Research Profile

PRP is operated as a Product Research Profile that verifies cultivation feasibility, selection, milling, fermentation, product suitability, and buyer procurement feasibility, rather than promoting 'superfoods' .

Given that the USDA-NRCS separately emphasizes the importance of micro-seeds and shallow sowing for teff, Seed Size → Seedbed → Seeding Depth → Emergence → Stand Density constitutes a core problem relationship. ( Natural Resources Conservation Service )

In addition, as lodging in teff is repeatedly addressed as a major cultivation issue in international research, variety → planting density → fertilization → ear weight → lodging → harvest loss are managed as a separate runtime. ( Agris )
