The first one and unique food plant of Timor Leste has just started its production in the capital Dili, under the auspices of the World Food Programme (WFP), a UN agency. It manufactures fortified foods, a mixture of corn, soybeans, sugar and oils, embellished with 17 vitamins and minerals. This food is intended primarily for mothers and infants:
"The plant packages them in small bags that women can retire to the hospital, and it is cooked very easily"
, said WFP Representative Timor Leste, Joan Fleuren on Radio Australia.This plant food will create jobs, provide an outlet for small local farmers and market gardeners. And then produce locally will be cheaper than importing the WFP.
