India is the leading producer of rice in the world, it produces 22% of the world rice and 60% of India’s population consumes rice on daily basis. Fortification of rice with minerals and vitamins makes possible to help India’s population to consume the required nutrition as the most essential nutrients are lost from it during the milling and polishing process. Fortification of rice is a cost effective and is a significant strategy to address malnutrition deficiency in the country.
