Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 3 (ANI/NewsVoir): The Micronutrient Premix industry has played a key role in meeting the challenge of supplying premix to countries to help national fortification initiatives and ensuring that staple foods can be fortified.

Stakeholders & Industry Experts from Stern Vitamin, BASF, voices from Bangladesh and Mozambique participated.
