Feb 16, 2024 · In 2021, WFP distributed 1,478,081 MT of fortified foods – the equivalent of more than 3 billion rations, or enough for 17 million people to have their daily staple food consumption be in the form of fortified staples for six months. Learn more about WFP’s work on food fortification.
Food fortification - enhancing the micronutrient content of commonly eaten foods - provides a cost-effective and life-changing solution. WFP is increasingly sourcing fortified foods to distribute in our food assistance programming, including general food distribution and school feeding, to reach millions of the world's most vulnerable.
