He said, “Food fortification is at the core of Olam Agri’s purpose of transforming food, feed and fibre for a sustainable future. In 2021, we produced more than 83 billion servings of fortified foods for consumers in Africa, which included fortified rice in Ghana and Cameroon. By 2030, we pledge to deliver 1 trillion servings of fortified food – wheat flour, edible oil, rice – to provide essential micronutrients to over 250 million people each day.”
He said there was the need for partnerships between millers and technical partners to help address unhealthy diets.
