This publication will provide information on rice fortification, training of rice millers on rice fortification to ensure optimum knowledge, and utilization by millers to enable them to produce quality assured fortified rice.
The rice miller training module is intended to be used for the training of rice millers on rice fortification. Rice fortification as a technique is new to India and its rice millers. Furthermore, the Government of India is keen to scale up the distribution of “fortified rice” through its food safety net schemes as another weapon in its armoury in its fight against malnutrition and to ensure optimal nutrient intake by the population. Thereby, to ensure optimum knowledge and its utilization by rice millers to enable them to produce quality assured fortified rice for further distribution under the food safety net schemes, WFP has developed this training module to enhance awareness, and learning on rice fortification among rice millers.
