All figures (except the amount available in food supply for consumption) are expressed in metric tons.

  • Note: Domestic production of rice is paddy rice. Import and export figures include husked and milled rice.

 

Legislation, Milling Industry, and Fortification

Industrial wheat and maize flour mill: capacity to mill more than 20 metric tons/day

Industrial rice mill: capacity to mill at least 5 metric tons/hour of paddy rice

Source: FFI database.

  • Note: Estimates may differ from Global Fortification Data Exchange estimates as FFI assumes imported flour/rice is industrially milled. FFI includes imported flour/rice into the total percentage of flour/rice produced in industrial mills and percentage of industrially milled flour/rice that is fortified.

 

Nutrients Added Through Fortification

  • Note: This figure may not include pregnancy loss or terminations of pregnancies due to prenatal diagnosis of a neural tube defect. With all folic acid interventions in place, the birth prevalence of neural tube defects would be about 6 per 10,000.

  • Note: Anemia can be caused by many things. Fortifying flour and rice can reduce the risk of anemia caused by nutritional deficiencies. The classification of anemia as a public health problem, according to the World Health Organization is:

    • ≤4.9% No public health problem

    • 5.0-19.9% Mild public health problem

    • 20.0-39.9% Moderate public health problem

    • ≥40.0% Severe public health problem

  • Note: Preschool children are usually defined as ages 6-59 months.
