Unanimous affirmation for Nutri-Rice® among GAIN Jury / Mauricio Adade
receives price on behalf of DSM
DSM and Bühler AG won the GAIN Business Award 2008 for the development of a
new technology that produces rice kernels being indistinguishable from
unfortified rice in looks and taste - and still highly nutritious after
washing and cooking. The eight judges were unanimous in their selection of
DSM. “The judges were particularly impressed by the innovative features of
DSM's Nutri-Rice product. In the past, rice fortification efforts have not
been very successful due to cultural and dietary preferences.” said Will
Oulton, Director, Responsible Investment at GAIN.
Mauricio Adade received the price on behalf of DSM at the Award Ceremony in
Amsterdam on 27 May 2009. "DSM is honored to receive the GAIN Business Award
for Innovation and Nutrition. The award serves as an additional motivation for
us to continue to invest in and research innovative and sustainable solutions
to the problem of global malnutrition."
