NutraCea is committed to working with strategic partners on a global basis to develop, produce and distribute nutritious foods based on rice bran, or one of its derivative products, that meet varying humanitarian needs. NutraCea is focused on mitigating malnutrition among children, pregnant women, and HIV/AIDs-infected adults and children in the most impoverished developing countries. The facts are startling.
In the 2006 report The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2006, from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the 2001-03 statistics show that there are 854 million undernourished people worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that there are as many as 20 million children with severe acute malnutrition at any given point in time, with most of these children residing sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
Malnutrition among children and adults is a global concern. According to the World Food Programme, the populations of Bangladesh, Cambodia, Colombia, Sri Lanka and many others face acute and chronic malnutrition rates ranging from 19% to a staggering 48%.

Hunger and malnutrition are often viewed as issues that exclusively affect children in developing countries. Nearly 35 percent of these children are underweight or stunted , and poor nutrition contributes to one out of every two deaths associated with infectious diseases among children under five. About 25 percent of preschool children in these countries suffer from a lack of proper nutrition, which can severely affect a child's mental and physical development.
