Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The complaint comes from the food industry sector, which also criticises the poor supervision of salt on the domestic market.<\/p>\n

During its annual assessment of the implementation of the National Food Fortification Program, the food industry sector raised its concerns.<\/p>\n

Representing producers, Orlando da Conceic\u0327a\u0303o cited among them the smuggling of corn flour and non-observance of food fortification regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the corn circulating on the formal market [in Mozambique] comes from smuggling, which means that it does not comply with fortification standards, and also takes income from our farmers, who lose the opportunity to put their corn flour in the commercial circuit,\u201d da Conceic\u0327a\u0303o said.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, according to industrial food producers, much of the salt for sale domestically is also questionable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difficulty is that inspection agents do not have rapid inspection kits,\u201d da Conceic\u0327a\u0303o claimed.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce says it is well aware of the problems and points to the conformity assessment of imported products as a solution.<\/p>\n

According to the government, 37% of children under the age of five in the country suffer from malnutrition.<\/p>\n
