India flags off fortified rice export to Papua New Guinea

The flag-off of 20 MT of fortified rice from Raipur, Chhattisgarh to Papua New Guinea (PNG) marks a significant milestone in advancing India’s commitment to global food and nutritional security. This strategic initiative reflects India’s growing role in international agri-trade and its ability to support partner nations in addressing critical nutritional challenges.

The consignment demonstrates India’s capability to deliver high-quality, value-added food products that adhere to global standards of safety and nutrition. Fortified rice, enriched with essential micronutrients, is an important tool in combating malnutrition and improving public health outcomes, particularly in regions facing nutritional deficiencies.

This development further strengthens India’s reputation as a trusted contributor to global food supply chains. It highlights the nation’s continued efforts to promote food security, enhance export competitiveness, and foster meaningful international cooperation in the agricultural and food sectors.
