Rice fortification has been shown to be safe and effective in improving micronutrient status in many studies. However, most studies have been done in Latin America, Africa and India. There are no studies available from Cambodia, except for an acceptability study of fortified rice conducted by WFP and the Institute of Research for Development (IRD) in 2010 in Kampung Speu. This acceptability study showed that fortified rice has an excellent acceptability among school children, parents and teachers. However, there is no data available on whether fortified rice can reduce the prevalence of anemia in school children in Cambodia, nor whether there will be additional benefits, such as better learning capability of school children or fewer days missed due to better health.
