dc.description.abstractSmall and medium enterprises (SMEs) have demonstrated for the first time that unrefined sunflower oil can be fortified on a small scale and can increase nutrition for the most vulnerable people, particularly lactating mothers and children. More than 142,000L of fortified sunflower oil was produced by SMEs and sold by a network of 319 retailers reaching nearly half a million people. The project supports Tanzania’s national food fortification policy, which is making fortification of edible oil mandatory. The results demonstrate how a locally produced crop, processed at local businesses and sold by local retailers can improve food security and stimulate local economic growth.en
