Bali Forages has carefully crafted food packages contained chicken chips, strategically chosen as a rich protein source with complete amino acids, zinc, vitamin A, and heme-iron. These chips not only offer a flavourful and convenient source of protein but also provide essential nutrients crucial for healthy growth and development.

Stunting prevention is not only about addressing existing malnutrition but also about educating communities on the proactive measures needed to ensure optimal growth and development in children.
