Nutrition International works to sustainably expand fortification for edible oil and wheat flour in Pakistan
February 15, 2023
This brief was used as a special announcement for wheat flour millers in Pakistan to inform that subsidies used to purchase premixes for flour fortification had increased to 100%.
This document was produced as part of the Food Fortification Programme (FFP) in Pakistan, which ended in 2021. In collaboration with Mott MacDonald and funded with UK aid from the UK government, Nutrition International implemented a large-scale food fortification program in Pakistan to fortify wheat flour and edible oil. Building on the work of FFP and with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Nutrition International has launched the Digitizing Pakistan’s Oil Fortification Program to institutionalize and sustain the gains of FFP, improving quality assurance and quality control measures to ensure availability of adequately fortified oil with vitamins A and D.
