Level StateYearly

Definition

Proportion of the rural population with access to electricity.

Interpretation

Cold storage may reduce food losses and improve food quality, also incentivizing farmers to produce more perishable foods. However, cold storage requires a reliable source of electricity. Electricity may also improve other areas of food supply chains, including production and processing.
