Acting
closest to needs

Initiated in 2005 by Nutriset Group, the PlumpyField® network today includes 11 members based in Central America, Africa, Asia, France, and the United States. Thanks to their expertise and industrial skills, they provide nutritional solutions to humanitarian organisations and health professionals around the world.

By producing directly in countries affected by malnutrition, PlumpyField® brings production closer to the most vulnerable populations. The network offers a local response to the fight against malnutrition, launching new projects to treat and prevent malnutrition and encouraging local economic development. Each member of the network shares the same vision: develop nutritional autonomy for all, defined as the ability of a country or a community to establish a sustainable system in order to identify and to make accessible the required nutrients for the development and good health of its population.

Its action focuses on 4 major areas:

• Manufacturing high-quality nutritional solutions to meet needs
  Thanks to their partnerships with Nutriset Group, members can manufacture any of the products from both Plumpy® and Enov® ranges. They provide an efficient answer to the different forms of malnutrition, tailored to each specific target group: children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and sick adults.

• Developing industrial tools and knowledge to meet the increasing demand
  This development goes with the increasing production capacities to meet the demands of humanitarian actors in terms of quantity and quality. The network meets international quality standards, through the implementation of new processes and tools.

• Working with local/regional farmers to ensure an optimal supply of raw material
  Through close and long-term collaboration, the members support farmers to meet their needs, thereby contributing to the development of quality agricultural production in these countries.

• Supporting the development of interdependent local services
  Whether through the creation of laboratories or innovative distribution channels, the members actively participate in the development of economic activities in their countries.
