With the devastating social and economic impacts of COVID-19, it is more important than ever to protect the nutrition, health, and livelihoods of the world’s most vulnerable. We know that many of the two billion people who suffer from micronutrient deficiencies, or "hidden hunger", consume rice as their primary staple food.

Understanding and addressing these gaps along the fortification supply chain is critical to ensure the quality and safety of fortified products in the food system. This requires accessing and managing information/data along the fortification value chain to trace quality from production to consumption.

Ending hunger and malnutrition in all its forms (including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity) is about more than securing enough food to survive: what people eat - and especially what children eat – must also be nutritious. Yet a key obstacle is the high cost of nutritious foods and the low affordability of healthy diets for vast numbers of families.

Global food systems are powered by private sector investment and entrepreneurs, micro, small, medium, and large. Staple food fortification is an extremely effective, low-cost, food systems intervention with enormous potential to reduce micronutrient malnutrition across large populations.
