Sight and Life Supplement: Scaling Up Rice Fortification in Latin America and the Caribbean

January 2017

Abstract

Over the past decades, scaling up of rice fortification has been hampered by technological limitations. Today, affordable technology exists to produce fortified rice kernels that look and taste like non-fortified rice. Advances in coating and extrusion technologies allow micronutrients to be retained effectively even after long washing and cooking processes, which makes rice fortification an effective and affordable strategy.
