Interpretation
Electricity enhances multiple aspects of food supply chains, including internet connectivity, greater precision in agricultural production, access to online technical orientation and the use of modern technologies for processing and handling. One particularly important role of electricity is enabling cold storage, which can reduce food losses, maintain product quality, and encourage farmers to produce more perishable foods.
