dc.description.abstractThe project established and scaled up a sustainable value chain for fortified foods using locally grown crops, local manufacturing facilities, and local distribution channels in the remote mountainous regions of northern Vietnam (Lao Cai, Lai Chau, and Ha Giang). Among children who consumed the fortified complementary foods, results indicate that child underweight rate has been reduced to 13.9% from 17.2% and the rate of anemia reduced from 61.3% to 16.1%. Almost 3,000 kg of instant fortified porridge has been provided to date during mid-morning meals to 2,550 children in 21 pre-schools in Lao Cai region, Vietnam.en
