Explanation

Harvested crops spoil quickly without proper storage. Processing turns fresh produce into products that last longer, like tomato paste or dried fish.

When farmers cannot store or process their harvest, food rots in the field or market. This causes massive waste during peak harvest seasons.

Building more warehouses and processing plants would save food that currently goes to waste.
