Hi-zinc rice
Congratulations to BRRI and Dr. Md Alamgir Hossain, the breeder behind the hi-zinc rice. Bangladesh is all set to release the world's first zinc-enriched rice variety capable of fighting diarrhoea and pneumonia-induced childhood deaths and stunting. Zinc, iron and vitamin A are the three most vital micronutrients, deficiency of which hamper children's natural growth and decrease their disease prevention capacity. The whole nation is proud of the success of our scientists.
