AMSTERDAM—DSM received the first GAIN Business Award for Innovation in Nutrition 2008 at a ceremony held during the GAIN Business Alliance Global Forum in Amsterdam. DSM was recognized on May 14, 2009 for its innovative efforts in rice fortification, called NutriRice® , by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the International Business Leaders Forum.
DSM, in cooperation with Bühler AG, developed a new technology that produces rice kernels that are indistinguishable from unfortified rice in looks and taste, and are still highly nutritious after washing and cooking. NutriRice is produced by a Chinese joint venture called Wuxi NutriRice Ltd.
