CARGILL – RISE AGAINST HUNGER INITIATE NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR B40 COMMUNITYJULY 3, 2022 @ 5.11PM
Cargill will be facilitating distribution of 60,000 food packets to help 240,000 people living in affected communities.
While Malaysia is progressing towards economic recovery by entering the endemic phase, the B40 communities continue to face food insecurity and other inflation-related challenges. In line with its commitment to Malaysia and its purpose of nourishing the world in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way, Cargill has partnered with Rise Against Hunger for a two-year sustainable nutrition program designed to alleviate nutritional deficiency amongst the underprivileged community.
Today, over 160 dedicated volunteers from Cargill worked tirelessly to put together high-nutrition food packets (each packet contains food for four to five people and includes food items like rice, dhal, dried vegetables, vitamins and minerals) with long shelf life. Through this multi-year program, Cargill will be facilitating distribution of over 60,000 food packets to help 240,000 people living in affected communities, including the Orang Asli community and refugees. The event was attended by Member of Parliament of Lembah Pantai, Fahmi Fadzil who expressed his support to the initiative. Commenting on the initiative, Fahmi Fadzil said, “At a time when food security is affected by global supply chain and geopolitical issues, we must find workable alternatives to tide us over until things get better. But fundamentally, food solutions such as the ones prepared by Cargill today will help people who are in an emergency situation. At the same time, the way of looking at emergency food supply should be expanded, and I invite relevant government agencies and NGOs to consider this approach.” As sustainable nutrition is a huge component of this initiative - long-lasting, shelf-stable food is key in delivering this promise. Malnutrition is not something that can be resolved in one sitting, but rather takes a continuous effort through the provision of high-nutrition, long shelf-life food packets which can be used to supplement nutritional needs for daily consumption.
