In africa, Nigeria leads the pack as the country with the highest people living below the poverty line
The whole african continent seems to have this problem tho.
It's probably due to a lack of refrigeration and food preservatives in general. They have a more organic diet with lots of fruits and veggies, wich go bad rather quickly, and poor handling, poor packaging and lack of storage for their produce before it reaches the market contribute greatly.
