Option 2: Storage problems

Option 3: Poor infrastructure

Option 4: All the above

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

**Option 4: All the above** In emerging economies, food loss is caused by a **combination** of all three factors: - **Supply chain problems** – Food gets lost during transportation because systems used to move food from farms to shops are not well-organized. - **Storage problems** – There aren't enough good places (like refrigerators or cool rooms) to keep food fresh, so it rots and goes to waste. - **Poor infrastructure** – Basic systems like good roads, electricity, and warehouses are missing or poorly built, so food spoils before reaching people. These three issues are closely connected. For example, without good roads (infrastructure), trucks can't deliver food on time (supply chain), and without electricity, there are no cold storage rooms (storage). Each problem makes the others worse. That is why **"All the above"** is the correct answer.
