Yesterday, 16th Aug, 2023 in Abuja, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in collaboration with the Government of Nigeria and other stakeholders, held a trade fair at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja to foster innovation and collaboration to address severe acute malnutrition. Tagged “Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) and other Life-Saving Nutrition Commodities Expo”, the event provided a platform for government officials, the donor community, and RUTF manufacturers to discuss challenges, share experiences, network, and explore collaborative opportunities in expanding RUTF programs.

It also allowed local manufacturers, investors, and other operators in the RUTF and other life-saving nutrition commodities value chains to showcase their products and innovations.

Esomchi Foods as one of key exhibitors displayed her array of innovative food products from nutrient-enriched crops and food-to-food fortification. Many stakeholders had a first-hand experience in tasting these nutritious products with amazing feedbacks.

We are looking forward to building meaningful relationships that will result in sustainable local access to affordable, lifesaving, nutrition commodities that help reduce severe malnutrition in Nigeria.
