Acute malnutrition
In different parts of the world, nearly 60 million children suffer from acute malnutrition. These vulnerable children are treated with specially produced foods called Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and Ready to use Supplementary Food (RUSF), in which milk powder is a key ingredient. These products contain a high concentration of carbohydrates, healthy fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, making them high impact in small doses. They are often distributed locally by aid organisations. Given the severity of the health situation of these children, it is crucial that these special foods, including milk powder, are produced safely. In 2023, we focused on increasing our market share by both growing with existing relationships and building new ones. We will also continue these efforts in 2024 so that we continue to contribute to the safe treatment of acute malnutrition in children.
