Abstract

In rural northern Vietnam, childhood stunting rates are 15-27.5%. In Lào Cai province, female subsistence farmers grow crops, but face barriers sending produce to markets. The present intervention purchases these crops which are processed in local small-scale food processing facilities (SSFPF) to produce instant fortified complementary foods (FCF) for weaning.
