Micronutrient
deficiencies threaten productivity, development and health of
millions of people worldwide. For example, approximately half of the
child population in India is affected from chronic malnutrition, and
vitamin & mineral deficiencies. Along with micronutrients
supplementation and diversification in diets, enriching the regularly
consumed food such as rice with minerals & vitamins is an
effective solution for alleviating the issue. This has led toward the
fortification of rice, which is emerging as a sustainable &
cost-effective measure for providing nutrition to people globally.

Fortified
Rice has emerged as Key to Reduce Nutrition Deficiencies among People
Globally
Nearly
2 Bn people across the globe currently suffer from mineral and
vitamin deficiencies, posing devastating impact on these people as a
result. Impaired motor and cognitive development among children,
reduced immune response, lower capacity in performing physical work,
high morbidity and mortality among newborns, adults, & mothers,
and growth retardation are some of the major impacts of nutrition
deficiencies. As rice is a globally consumed food, and staple for in
several emerging countries such as China and India, fortified rice
has emerged as the key to reduce the burden of malnutrition. Several
demographic experiments and studies across the globe have imparted
effectiveness and safety of consuming extruded fortified rice, and
have depicted significant improvements in the vitamin and mineral
status of people.
Over
the past few years, many initiatives have been spearheaded by the
rice industry and development partners for providing fortified rice
with the help of safety net programs and the open market. For
example, government of India in coordination with WFP and PATH has
distributed fortified rice through several welfare schemes,
particularly via Mid-Day Meal across some of its states. In line with
this, the U.S. Food Assistance Agencies have sought diversification
of their portfolio regarding value-added nutritional food produced
within the region’s origin commodities for the global nutritional
and food aid. Fortified
rice has remained a key component of the programs carried out
by these agencies. These instances have led to high production of
fortified rice across the globe.
According
to Transparency Market Research’s report, the global fortified rice
market will register a splendid growth during 2017 to 2026. Revenues
from global sales of fortified rice will exceed US$ 25,000 Mn by
2026-end.

Leading
players in the global fortified rice market from the private as well
as the public sectors are focusing on establishing a coalition for
underpinning the utilization of fortified rice and addressing growth
barriers to its implementation across the globe. Key market players
identified by the report include Cargill Incorporated, Bunge Limited,
Bühler AG, BASF SE, General Mills, Inc., and Wilmar International
Ltd.
