2018 Global Nutrition Report
Philippine Situation
• “29,000 under-five children die every year due to
undernutrition” stated Mr. Joris Van Hees, Nutrition Specialist
of UNICEF, during the launch of the Costing Study on
Undernutrition in the Philippines and Philippines launch of the
2017 Global Nutrition Report at the House of Representatives,
Quezon City held last 23 January 2018.
• The country loses Php 220 billion per year or about 1.5% of
GDP due to malnutrition. This was the conclusion of the
UNICEF-commissioned “Costing Study on Undernutrition”. The
study noted “Stunting alone contributes to more than 50% of
the economic costs of undernutrition”.
Current Food Status
A 1991 study done by the British, and a more recent one done
by the University of Texas based on USDA data, show that the
food grown today is less nutritious than that grown 60 years
ago, due to soil depletion, fertilizers, and high yield varieties.
While fertilizers cause plants to grow bigger and faster, they do
nothing to increase the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients at a
faster rate. Research has also found that plants have a fixed
amount of energy and varieties with high yields may not have
the energy to absorb enough nutrients from the soil to fully
supply that high yield. These studies show that onions have 75%
less calcium, potatoes 35% less calcium and 45% less iron,
spinach 60% less iron, cabbage 71% less iron, and carrots 75%
less magnesium than they did in 1940.

cumulative revenue (2019-2023) is projected to be over US$ 41
Bn, which is estimated to increase moderately over the latter
