Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals have lifelong consequences on health, productivity, and mental development, particularly for women and children. Rice fortification improves the nutritional value of rice, the staple food of the Myanmar population. PATH’s Ultra Rice® technology is a culturally appropriate solution aimed at breaking the cycle of micronutrient malnutrition. Building on their experiences around the world on Ultra Rice technology, PATH’s programme in Myanmar aims to achieve two distinct outcomes through the introduction of fortified rice: to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in the population and to create income-generation opportunities for supply chain and distribution actors.
