“I don’t see the price as the problem. There will always be a price war. What has to be done is to market the benefits of the product, so the people will patronize it. Once the people know the benefits, they will buy the product,” says Jorge D. Aguilar Jr., founder of Nutrition and Beyond Corporation (NBC), a pioneer in the sale of iron-fortified rice (IFR)in the local market.

What the iron does, according to nutritionists, is that it helps carry oxygen into the blood and when that happens, the body system works better. One becomes more agile and less sickly. The brain too functions better. Ergo, it is important that the population is not iron deficient and this is addressed through fortifying rice with iron.
