WHY VITAMIN A BIOFORTIFIED CASSAVA PRODUCTS FOOD POPULARITY

The emergence and popularity of Vitamin A Biofortified Cassava Crop Foods since year 2011 as been due to the fact that unlike most cassava varieties which when consumed provides the body with mainly carbohydrates, vitamin A cassava varieties are natural channels of providing the body with vitamin A in an affordable, targeted and cost effective way. Vitamin A cassava was bred to deliver vitamin A to consumers with a focus on rural farming households who are the most vulnerable to vitamin A deficiency and who because of their financial status cannot afford to diversify their foods or buy artificially fortified products hence, they mostly consume what they produce. Vitamin A naturally is known to be essential for good vision, strong immune system, healthy skin, proper development of embryos and the prevention of diarrhoea in children. It also helps in cell reproduction, bone formation and wound healing.

It then follows that Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD), which is considered a public health problem especially in Africa and South-East Asia and which is known to lead to high risk of disease and death with data showing that currently in Nigeria, 30% of children and 25% of pregnant women are affected (WHO) would be reduced significantly through the introduction and consumption of biofortified vitamin a cassava food into our every day food menu.
