13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Augustine Okoruwa, Regional Director, Food Fortification, Hellen Keller International:
"Fortification is important because it is the most cost-effective way of adding micronutrients that are missing in the diet for the consumer to be able to have them delivered to them through the fortified food products. It's really very important because, as of today, we have micronutrient deficiencies in Nigeria, what we call 'hidden hunger'. So one way, one strategical approach to addressing this is through adding these micronutrients to the food that they eat.”

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Augustine Okoruwa, Regional Director, Food Fortification, Hellen Keller International:
"Certainly there is a link between climate change and malnutrition in Africa. So, if the climate is not suitable for production of highly nutritious food, how will you have the food to consume? It results in a lot of problems like flooding, for instance. Farmlands are destroyed, if farmlands that (are) supposed to be harvested cannot be harvested, that is a shortage of food. You won't have the food that will deliver the nutrients for you to consume.”

STORYLINE:
Authorities in Nigeria are this week launching a code of standards for adding four micronutrients - iron, zinc, folic acid and vitamin B12 - to bouillon or stock cubes at levels advised by experts in order to achieve large-scale food fortification to combat malnutrition.
On the menu today: eba, and melon soup with ponmo - a less expensive condiment that is made by boiling burnt cowhide.
