'content' => '<p>December 20: The first national conference on rice fortification has stressed on the need to enrich rice with essential vitamins and minerals for a healthier and more productive future for the people of Nepal. The two-day conference was organised in Kathmandu on December 18 and 19 by the Department of Health Services, Department of Food Technology and Quality Control, and the Nepal Food Corporation(NFC) in association with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).</p>
<p>A press statement issued by WFP says that malnutrition in general is a serious public health concern in Nepal. The country’s rates of iron deficiency and anaemia remain high. The 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey has revealed more than one in four women of reproductive age and more than half of the children of 6-59 months to be anaemic, the statement says.</p>
<p>“Among pregnant and breastfeeding women, the prevalence of anaemia reaches each 46 percent; among children of 12-17 months, it hits an alarming 74 percent,” the statement warned.</p>
<p>The conference noted that nutrients most commonly used in food grain fortification are iron and folic acid. Fortifying rice with essential vitamins and minerals will lead to better health, especially amongst those that are poor and vulnerable, said the stakeholders. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Chronic malnutrition, especially among women, adolescent girls and children, is a terrible burden for the people of Nepal, both in terms of health and economic productivity,” said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal Country Director. “Micronutrient fortification is a cost-efficient intervention that can really help tackle this problem.”</p>
<p>Experts in fortification shared insights during the conference while the food fortification strategies and experiences in Nepal till date were also reviewed.</p>
<p>Participants included government representatives, the Nepal Food Corporation, the private sector, UN agencies, and national and international NGOs, as well as entrepreneurs, academia, civil society groups, media and consumer associations.</p>
<p>WFP said it is working in collaboration with the Government of Nepal to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which calls for an end to all forms of malnutrition. The agency has been advocating rice fortification to tackle micronutrient deficiencies across Asia. </p>

First National Conference on Rice Fortification held in Nepal
1 min 51 sec to read
December 20: The first national conference on rice fortification has stressed on the need to enrich rice with essential vitamins and minerals for a healthier and more productive future for the people of Nepal. The two-day conference was organised in Kathmandu on December 18 and 19 by the Department of Health Services, Department of Food Technology and Quality Control, and the Nepal Food Corporation(NFC) in association with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
A press statement issued by WFP says that malnutrition in general is a serious public health concern in Nepal. The country’s rates of iron deficiency and anaemia remain high. The 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey has revealed more than one in four women of reproductive age and more than half of the children of 6-59 months to be anaemic, the statement says.
“Among pregnant and breastfeeding women, the prevalence of anaemia reaches each 46 percent; among children of 12-17 months, it hits an alarming 74 percent,” the statement warned.
The conference noted that nutrients most commonly used in food grain fortification are iron and folic acid. Fortifying rice with essential vitamins and minerals will lead to better health, especially amongst those that are poor and vulnerable, said the stakeholders.
“Chronic malnutrition, especially among women, adolescent girls and children, is a terrible burden for the people of Nepal, both in terms of health and economic productivity,” said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal Country Director. “Micronutrient fortification is a cost-efficient intervention that can really help tackle this problem.”
Experts in fortification shared insights during the conference while the food fortification strategies and experiences in Nepal till date were also reviewed.
Participants included government representatives, the Nepal Food Corporation, the private sector, UN agencies, and national and international NGOs, as well as entrepreneurs, academia, civil society groups, media and consumer associations.
WFP said it is working in collaboration with the Government of Nepal to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which calls for an end to all forms of malnutrition. The agency has been advocating rice fortification to tackle micronutrient deficiencies across Asia.

'content' => '<p>December 20: The first national conference on rice fortification has stressed on the need to enrich rice with essential vitamins and minerals for a healthier and more productive future for the people of Nepal. The two-day conference was organised in Kathmandu on December 18 and 19 by the Department of Health Services, Department of Food Technology and Quality Control, and the Nepal Food Corporation(NFC) in association with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).</p>
<p>A press statement issued by WFP says that malnutrition in general is a serious public health concern in Nepal. The country’s rates of iron deficiency and anaemia remain high. The 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey has revealed more than one in four women of reproductive age and more than half of the children of 6-59 months to be anaemic, the statement says.</p>
<p>“Among pregnant and breastfeeding women, the prevalence of anaemia reaches each 46 percent; among children of 12-17 months, it hits an alarming 74 percent,” the statement warned.</p>
<p>The conference noted that nutrients most commonly used in food grain fortification are iron and folic acid. Fortifying rice with essential vitamins and minerals will lead to better health, especially amongst those that are poor and vulnerable, said the stakeholders. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Chronic malnutrition, especially among women, adolescent girls and children, is a terrible burden for the people of Nepal, both in terms of health and economic productivity,” said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal Country Director. “Micronutrient fortification is a cost-efficient intervention that can really help tackle this problem.”</p>
<p>Experts in fortification shared insights during the conference while the food fortification strategies and experiences in Nepal till date were also reviewed.</p>
<p>Participants included government representatives, the Nepal Food Corporation, the private sector, UN agencies, and national and international NGOs, as well as entrepreneurs, academia, civil society groups, media and consumer associations.</p>
<p>WFP said it is working in collaboration with the Government of Nepal to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which calls for an end to all forms of malnutrition. The agency has been advocating rice fortification to tackle micronutrient deficiencies across Asia. </p>
