Overall fortification opportunity:

Fortifying maize flour is a moderate opportunity, in particular if there is adequate consumption and coverage of maize flour in populations with poor diet quality. A significantly higher proportion of maize flour industrially produced would improve this opportunity.

Program suggestion:

Fortification of maize flour is already mandatory; check the proportion of food that is being fortified (compliance/quality data) if the program is being implemented optimally, national-level or sub-group impact could be expected.
