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.application/pdfenMALNUTRITIONRURAL POORRURAL POOREDIBLE OILSMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHSUNFLOWER OILLOCAL LEVELLOCAL FOOD SYSTEMSFORTIFIED FOODSTANZANIACHILD NUTRITIONSOUTH OF SAHARAProject Brief
