Sidhi's tribal culture and traditionally cultivated millet crops such as Kodo, Kutki, Sanwa, Mijri, and Kakun form an important part of the local culture. The district is producing around 2,000 hectares of Ragi and approximately 2,500 hectares of Kodo to promote Shri Anna.

The Chief Minister said that farmers in Sidhi are adopting innovation and technology to cultivate major crops like paddy, wheat, mustard, gram, sesame, and pigeon pea. Advanced crops such as jackfruit, grafted mango, guava, lemon, cauliflower, and beetroot are also being cultivated with the promotion of mulching and drip irrigation to conserve water while increasing crop yields.
Chief Minister Yadav advised farmers to complete their registration in time to sell their produce at the Minimum Support Price. He encouraged farmers to take up dairy farming to increase their income and join the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan being conducted to mark the birth anniversary of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
