Abstract Zinc deficiency is a severe public health problem in Bangladesh. We examine the effects of nutritional information on rural consumers’ willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for two ways to increase zinc intake through rice, the main staple crop–low‐milling that gives rice grains a distinctive light brown color (a visible trait) and sets it apart from the ...
