President of the National Industry Society (SNI) Ricardo Marquez and representatives of the Rice Committee of this guild and the Peruvian Rice Mill Association (Apema) announced the launch of Cómprale programs in Peru and the National Rice Enrichment Plan.

Direct speech: “These programs are aimed at motivating the acquisition of national products, creating official jobs and promoting a project that promotes the mass inclusion of nutrients in the production process of this cereal. This will reduce the level of anemia that currently affects four out of 10 children across the country, ”said Marquez Flores.

The importance of launching this program is that 60% of national rice producers have decided to support the fight against anemia. Thomas Padilla, President of the Peruvian Rice Mill Association (Apema), explained that rice enrichment is possible in droves.

Direct speech: “We, as entrepreneurs, are ready to work. Rice fortification is our initiative, but we are looking for allies, and the executive branch is an indispensable ally, ”he emphasized.

In Arab countries, they still use a measure of weight equal to one grain of rice. It is called Aruzza.

For his part, the president of the SNI Risk Committee and Apema member Alfonso Garces said that the launch of a massive enrichment of this cereal implies a change in the culture of the purchase of Peruvians.

Direct speech: “We need a harmless product, without any pollution, changes or conditions that affect our health,” said Garces.

He also said that it is necessary to create a technical standard that sets the quality parameters that importers must meet in order to neutralize the deliberate import of this product, the import of which seriously affects national production.
