What is Fortified Rice Initiative in India about?
The Indian government is increasing the capacity for rice fortification from 15,000 MT to 3.5 lakh MT to combat anemia and micro-nutrient deficiency. A Centrally Sponsored Pilot Scheme for fortification and distribution of rice under the Public Distribution System has been implemented in six states since 2019-20, with plans for further scaling up. Fortified rice aims to enhance nutritional security and has been shown to effectively improve vitamin and mineral intake in diets.
