Under the guidance of a Japan-based not-for-profit organization – Table for Two International and with the help of a Vietnam-based not-for-profit organization Center for Sustainable Development Studies, TFT VN is tasked with tackling food consumption imbalances in Vietnam. According to the National Institute of Nutrition, in Vietnam, for children under five, data for 2012 – 2013 showed that the proportion of malnourished children (in terms of weight to age) stood at over 16 per cent while Malnutrition rate (in terms of height to age) stood at 26.7 per cent. In addition, iron deficiency anemia among children in many years (from 2000-2009) in parts of the country was prevalent and the rate stood at around 30 per cent during the period. At the same time, the proportion of adults suffering from obesity stood at an alarming rate of 27.9 per cent also in the same period, according to an experiment conducted by the National Institute of Nutrition of Vietnam in 2013.
