MICRO NUTRIENTS ARE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS, WHICH LIVING ORGANISMS (INCLUDING HUMAN BODIES AND PLANTS) NEED IN VERY LOW CONCENTRATIONS FOR NORMAL GROWTH. MICRO NUTRIENTS INCLUDE VITAMINS, IRON, CHLORINE, COPPER, MANGANESE, ZINC, MOLYBDENUM, AND BORON.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN POOR COUNTRIES SUFFER FROM MICRO NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY AND THE CONSEQUENT PHYSICAL AND MENTAL AILMENTS, SUCH AILMENTS INCLUDE BLINDNESS, ANAEMIA, AND MENTAL RETARDATION.
