The Indonesian Nutrition Foundation for Food Fortification (Indonesia: Yayasan Kegizian untuk Pengembangan Fortifikasi Pangan Indonesia, former: Koalisi Fortifikasi Indonesia (KFI)) is a non-governmental, independent foundation, based in Jakarta. It was established to improve the nutrition status of the Indonesian society and to promote food fortification in the country.

KFI aims to :
 * 1) 1. Socialize the knowledge about food fortification, improve the concern and participation of industries, society and the government in the food fortification program.
