About the GAIN premix facility (GPF)

The GAIN premix facility was set up in 2009 to help food fortification projects by establishing an easier, more cost effective way of procuring high quality vitamin and mineral premix.

Micronutrient premix is a complicated commodity. Price and quality can vary tremendously, and quality verification requires sophisticated equipment and expertise. Customers in developing countries face a number of barriers when procuring premix, including access to reliable suppliers, variable prices, quality control and lack of upfront capital for large purchases.

To address these barriers, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) has established the GAIN premix facility (GPF) to make premix procurement easy.

With the GPF, GAIN customers can access high quality premix at a competitive cost. The GAIN premix facility will eliminate many of the challenges of premix procurement by leveraging:

  • A large, combined premix volume across multiple food fortification projects
  • Robust processes and systems
  • An experienced procurement and certification team

GPF Objectives

The GPF sourced approximately US$ 13 million in premix orders in its first 24 months of operation for customers accross 27 countries in Africa, Central and Southern Asia and Eastern Europe.
