parietal cells which can be found in gastric gland of stomach secretes intrinsic factor, which is a type of glycoprotein.

this intrinsic factor, together with vitamin B12 is required for effective absorption of iron in small intestine.

iron is required in erythropoiesis to produce haemoglobin. if iron absorption is low, RBC production will be affected.

in summary, stomach helps in RBC production by producing intrinsic cells required in iron absorption.
