National Food Policy 2006Ministry of Food and Disaster Management Government of Bangladesh

Article-15(a) of the constitution of Bangladesh, it shall be a fundamental responsibility of the State to secure its citizens to the provision of basic necessities of food

Bangladesh is firmly committed to achieve food security for all, defined at the 1996 World Food Summit as: access by all people at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life.

MDG -2015 : Goal-1, Eradication of Extreme Poverty and Hunger includes crop diversification nutritious crop program .

Goal- 2, reduction of child mortality combating under nutrition.

Goal and Objectives of the National Food Policy

Objective-1: to ensure adequate and stable supply of safe and nutritious food;

Objective-2: to enhance purchasing power of the people for increased food accessibility

Objective-3***: to ensure adequate nutrition for all (especially women and children).

Objective – 3: Adequate nutrition for all individuals, specially for women and children

Strategy 3.1: Long-term national plan for ensuring balanced food in building a healthy nation

3.1.1 Setting long-term targets for physical growth in building a healthy nation

3.1.2 Setting a standard food intake in accordance with physical, mental and cognitive needs

3.1.3 Taking steps to ensure balanced food to meet nutritional requirements

Objective – 3: ( Cont) Adequate nutrition for all individuals, specially for women and children

3.1.4 Taking steps to ensure balanced nutrition at minimal cost Strategy - 3.2: Supply of sufficient nutritious food for vulnerable group

Strategy - 3.3 Balanced diet containing adequate micronutrients

3.3.1 Nutrition éducation programmes

3.3.2 Dietary diversification

3.3.3 Effective food supplementation and fortification

Nutritional problems in Bangladesh are severe:

Body weight : Half of our children under five are underweight

Growth : 43 percent of our children stunted.

Nourishment : 27 percent of the population, malnourished

Cause : The cause of malnutrition is insufficient micronutrients, vitamin A, iron, iodine, and zinc deficiencies.

Worse affected : Malnutrition primarily affects poor children and women, especially in rural areas.

Goal of the project : Improving Rice Value Chain through reducing the milling of Rice in Bangladesh Improve value of rice in supply chain preserving

nutrient content. Existing milling of rice be changed to preserve

nutritive value and increase price Utilizing the rice byproduct to add value to

produce fortified oil and oil cake

Objectives of the project:

1. Increase production of potential rice verities to add value and nutrient.2. Preservation: on farm storage and transport, off farm storage and processing.3. Distribution: Trading and marketing4. Consumption: Preparation, cooking and consuming.

Improving Rice Value Chain through reducing the milling of Rice in Bangladesh

Main Purpose:

•Decrease malnutrition •Increase food and nutrition securityStrategy: Accelerated improvement of rice milling and inclusive deployment of new machines, rice varieties, bran stabilization, oil and oil cake production, sustainable management technologies, and policies to improve nutrition.

RICE MILLING MACHINES TO ADD VALUE

Logical Framework ApproachNarrative Summery Objectively verifiable

indicatorsMeans of verification Assumption

Goal To increase value of milled rice to improve health, productivity and cognitive function

Market survey No natural calamity

Purpose To increase nutrient content of rice to reduce the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies by 30% among target groups

Testing milled rice quality, availability of improved rice in the market

Improved machine available, rice variety developed.

Output 30% quality rice available, 3 new variety developed.

Market monitoring, farmers field verification

Stable market, input are available in the market

Activities 1: Increase production of potential rice verities2. Preservation: on farm storage and transport, off farm storage increased and processing improved.3. Distribution: Trading and marketing4. Consumption: Preparation, cooking and consuming.

Survey, field visit, interview. Political situation stable, no natural calamity.

PartnershipThe Project Manager is first to contact the partners

and make a visit for rapport building

Sharing the project goal and objectives and areas of cooperation

Jointly analysis the situation and identify the suitability of intervention.

Formation of farmers group, rice millers group, traders group.

Capacity building for farmers and partners staffs

Objective 1: Increase production of potential rice verities

Activities

Survey of existing rice varieties in the project areas. Design and implement pilot schemes for Improved delivery of seeds and modern technologies

in project areas. Design business models and out scaling strategies for

large scale roll-out of technologies through public and private sector channels.

Potential Management Options: Ob1.Seeds and seed systems and seed quality improved.

Nutrient management for healthy rice grain available.

Integrated weed and pest management in system perspective

Postharvest solutions (drying, storage, seed viability

Information systems ( communication platform)

Technologies to add value to straw be available.

Oyster Mushroom cultivation technology introduced for value add by straw.

Golden rice varieties are available with production technologies.

Objective 2: Preservation: on farm storage and transport, off farm storage and processing.

Activities:Increase capacity of farmers to store rice grain with proper Storage condition.

Train farmers of post harvest and storage technologies.Involved local banks for credit facilities to farmers.

Cheap and healthy transport system be developed.

Rice bran be a raw material for oil production.

Fortification of bran oil be a potential health product to provide essential nutrient.

Fortified bran oil cake to be potential product for animal health and nutrition.

Establish bran storage through stabilization.

Objective 3 : Distribution: Trading and marketing

Activities:Private sector trading and marketing system be developed.Capacity of local small traders be increased.

Millers should be provided credit support to increase storage capacity.

Strong linkage be build between farmers and millers, millers and traders.

Famers should get price depending on quality of farm products.

Grading of milled rice be done according to nutrient status

Objective 4: Consumption: Preparation, cooking and consuming.

Activities:

Fortified prepared rice product be available in the market with essential micronutrient.

Easy cook rice be available in the market.

Rice based prepared food be labeled with nutrient available in the products.

Cooking of rice maintaining proper nutrient be trained to the consumers.

Amount of rice for daily diet be fixed for different category on people and be available in different media.

Easy rice cooking device be available in the market.
