The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and HarvestPlus have launched the Commercialisation of Biofortified Crops (CBC) Programme in Nigeria to significantly increase access to biofortified seeds, grains, and foods via commercial channels in Africa’s most populous country. The programme will facilitate a commercial delivery system for biofortified crops such as vitamin A cassava and vitamin A maize.  Born out of the need to improve consumption of essential vitamins and minerals for vulnerable people through the food system, the programme’s work in Nigeria will build on existing activities of HarvestPlus and GAIN as well as other partners in the commercial delivery of nutrient-enriched staple crops. In the initial phase, GAIN and HarvestPlus will work with partners in Osun, Anambra, Cross River, and Nasarawa states to scale up the production of vitamin A cassava, and in Kaduna, Niger, Imo, and Oyo states to scale the production of vitamin A maize.
