Opening Hours : Sunday to Thursday, 10 AM to 4 PM
CFQS can lead a structured public-private partnership (PPP) model to scale fortified food production and distribution nationwide. This model would bring together government agencies, private manufacturers, development partners, and research institutions.
The approach would include co-investment in fortification infrastructure, subsidies or incentives for producers, and nationwide awareness campaigns to increase demand. Evidence shows that successful fortification initiatives often rely on strong collaboration between public and private sectors to ensure sustainability and scale .
Additionally, CFQS can act as a central coordinating body—providing policy recommendations, technical standards, and capacity-building programs. This ensures alignment with national nutrition strategies while creating a sustainable business environment for industry players.
CFQS can develop a national digital platform for traceability and compliance of fortified food products. This system would track products across the supply chain—from production, fortification, and distribution to retail—ensuring transparency and accountability.
Using QR codes, blockchain-inspired data logs, and centralized dashboards, stakeholders (industry, regulators, consumers) can verify product quality and fortification status. The platform can integrate with laboratory testing results and certification systems, ensuring real-time compliance monitoring.
Such digital innovations are increasingly critical as food systems become more complex and require transparency and trust. This aligns with CFQS’s role in quality assurance, policy support, and digital innovation.
CFQS can launch a dedicated accelerator program to support startups and SMEs working in fortified foods, functional nutrition, and food technology. The program would provide access to laboratory testing, product development support, regulatory guidance, and mentorship.
Startups often struggle with compliance, quality testing, and scaling. CFQS can bridge this gap by offering incubation services, pilot testing facilities, and market linkage opportunities. The accelerator can also facilitate partnerships with investors, NGOs, and government bodies, creating a strong innovation ecosystem.
This initiative directly supports entrepreneurship and strengthens the food value chain, helping translate research into market-ready solutions. It also ensures that innovative fortified products reach consumers efficiently and safely.
