Overview

This benefit-cost analysis quantified the economic consequences of not addressing the current high prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia, folate and zinc deficiency in Indonesia over the next 10 years (from 2023-32). A benefit-cost ratio was developed that estimates the health and productivity benefits of wheat flour fortification (WFF) in reducing the current levels of these three micronutrient deficiencies.
