(A) Assembling
(B) Transportation
(C) Processing
(D) Storage
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (D), (C), (B)
• B. (A), (C), (B), (D)
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To arrange the processes of agricultural marketing in the correct order, consider the typical steps involved: 

1. Assembling (A): This is the initial step where produce from various farms is collected for further processing.
2. Storage (D): Once collected, the products need to be stored properly to maintain quality and prevent spoilage until they are ready for the next steps.
3. Processing (C): After storage, the products may require processing, such as cleaning, sorting, or transforming into consumer-ready goods.
4. Transportation (B): Finally, the processed goods are transported to markets, wholesalers, or retailers for sale to consumers.

The correct order for these processes is, therefore: (A), (D), (C), (B).

Answer 2

The correct sequence is as follows:

• Assembling - This is the first step, where raw materials or components are gathered or put together for further processing or production.
• Storage - After assembling, the materials or finished products are stored for safe keeping until they are needed for the next phase of production or transportation.
• Processing - The stored materials are then processed to convert them into the final product or to refine them for further use. This step can involve various techniques such as manufacturing, transformation, or refinement.
• Transportation - Finally, the processed products are transported to their respective destinations, whether to consumers, retailers, or other businesses for distribution.

This sequence highlights the key stages in the supply chain, ensuring that products move efficiently from assembly to final delivery.
