Global Biofortification Market Outlook: Feeding the Future with Nutrient-Dense Crops
The global biofortification market is poised for strong growth as governments and NGOs recognize its role in tackling hidden hunger. Unlike conventional fortification which adds nutrients during food processing biofortification enhances the nutrient content during the crop’s growth stage, ensuring benefits reach even those without access to processed foods.
Rising health awareness, combined with a push for sustainable agricultural practices, is increasing adoption. In regions where staple crops dominate diets, biofortification offers a long-term solution without requiring significant changes in consumption habits.
Technological advancements, including gene editing tools like CRISPR, are enabling faster development of biofortified varieties with better yield potential and resilience against climate change.
With rising global population and the urgent need to improve food security, the biofortification market is expected to witness significant investment from both public and private sectors. The focus will remain on improving affordability, distribution channels, and consumer education to achieve mass adoption.
