‒ 90% of the world’s rice is produced and consumed in Asia‒ Over 70% of the world’s poor are in Asia
Poverty still the highest in rice producing countries

In 2013, 1 in 4 children under 5 worldwide had stunted growth. Half of the stunted children live in Asia and one third in Africa
GLOBAL NUTRITION CHALLENGES
Nearly half of all death in children under 5 are attributable to malnutrition, 3 million lives lost per year
Many developing countries confronting malnutrition in rural populations and yet under- and
over-nutrition in urban populations
