Regional Governments to Push for Consumption of Functional Flours 

In addition to the benefits of functional flours, increased initiatives by governments and associations to promote the usage of functional flours are fuelling the global functional flour market too. Growing instances of nutritional deficiency in larger demographics are compelling governments and association to push for measures such as promotion of the usage of nutrients enriched flours. Such measures by various governments are directly boosting the global functional flour market. 

Gujarat government’s substitution of fortified wheat flour for wheat grain has dramatically increased the intake of micronutrients among the beneficiaries of social safety net programs (SSNP). The incremental cost of introduction of fortification in each of the programs is quite low. According to the criteria of World Health Organization criteria, each program is “highly cost effective.” In another instance in Latin America, Argentina has gone so far as to mandate the usage of enriched/fortified flour in all of the products destined for domestic production, both locally-manufactured and imported. 

A national food fortification program was launched by launched by the Ministry of Public Health and Social Project in Dominican Republic, which aimed at dramatically reducing the rates of vitamin A and iron deficiency in the women and children of that country. A large number of babies were also born with serious physical defects.  The project enabled all wheat flour produced for domestic consumption to be fortified with folic acid, iron, and other B complex vitamins. Six flour mills and seven sugar mills participated in the project and the government introduced new national laws to make fortification of wheat flour and sugar mandatory.
