Law against the edible oil companies

By Samiul Raijul, School of Business and Economics, NSU

The government's recent move to strictly enforce a law against the edible oil companies who do not fortify their oil with vitamin A is admirable. It is a recommendable step taken by the industries minister as there are lots of branded and non-branded edible oils in the market that lack vitamin A. This vitamin is crucial for the immune system and vision, and ensuring that this vitamin is incorporated in edible oils will prevent many diseases.
