Abstract

Food wastage is prevalent in Southeast Asia and has significant implications for the region’s food, environmental and economic security. It is likely that the region wastes approximately 33 per cent of food, but accurate estimates are not available due to dearth of quantitative information. Wastage occurs at all stages of food supply chains from the point of production to post-harvest, retail and consumption. There has to be effective policies to for Southeast Asian governments to address rural and urban food wastage. [Policy Brief No. 17].
