As globe affected by the COVID19 try to control its
spread, economy and population reactions to the fast-moving state have sent
ripple effects to people in agriculture and the agri-business.
The virus has spread to more
than 180 countries and many U.S. states. There are more than 147,173 active in the world .This
has distressed global
stock markets, drives the Dow more
than 2,000 points on March 9 – the major one-day fall since the 2008 Great downturn.
Learning from the historical and related Public
Health crises, limitations on the movement of goods and population can have important
socio-economic consequences on people's livings, going beyond the direct influence
on wellbeing, and affecting the most susceptible groups. While these
restrictions are essential to bind the spread of a virus, they often lead to disturbance
of market chains and trade of agricultural
goods, with major probable impacts on the people that rely on them for
their livelihoods and their food security.
China’s agricultural business
has collapsed without the free flow of labour and raw materials. Chinese farms depend
heavily on migratory labour and are struggling to find enough workers after public
conveyance was on hold to help stem the spread of COVID19.
Agricultural
industry leaders have reported little influence from the corona virus, separately
from some defensive terminations and delays of non-essential gatherings and
farm inspections.
Farmers also face a lack of manures and seeds. The
problem is particularly marked in Hubei area, the China’s main fertiliser manufacturer
and the core of the COVID19 outbreak.
To encounter such adverse impacts in country areas,
the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is carefully checking the condition
and has taken a sequence of measures to comfort the burden on small industries.
On 27 January, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry
of Human Resources and Social Security and National Health Commission issued a combined
info note to agriculturalists
for anticipation and control of the virus in country areas. Identifying the
importance of ensuring the source of food in decent amount and superiority
during the emergency period, MARA also issued on 30 January 2020 a notice to provision
and guarantees winter and spring food production during the widespread period
and beyond.
Under the One Health method, FAO is
working carefully with national associates, MARA and the Chinese College of
Agriculture Sciences – CAAS, among others as well as global organizations such
as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal
Health (OIE) to contribution in recognizing the probable animal hosts of this
virus and also to measure the effect on smallholder farmer's living.
