Commitment description

Group Nutriset has developed a network of partners in France, US, Haiti, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, Ethiopia, Sudan, Madagascar, and India. The members of the PlumpyField® network are independent partners, locally registered as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or non-governmental organizations (NGOs). They produce RUF (Ready to Use Food) and Lipid-based Nutrient Supplement (LNS) dedicated to wasting and stunting prevention and treatment in fragile contexts: the PlumpyField® Network.

Thanks to a franchise agreement, the partners are enabled to produce RUF with the Nutriset brands. To do so, they receive a regular support from Nutriset with various expertise, especially on quality assurance, industrial development, and research/development.

This support strengthens the food system industry and make available nutritional solutions locally to address the needs in fragile context. Then, products are mainly sold to the UN, INGOs and some governments to be distributed among the vulnerable populations.

The commitment focuses on the production capacity of the SMEs and NGO based in programmatic countries, through regular support and technical assistance.
