“…Harvest delays and increased food losses, especially for perishables, due to mobility restrictions in the European Union were also reported by Stanisic et al [40]. The study concluded that "the COVID-19 pandemic did not change the importance of agriculture for the economic performance of individual countries" and "did not have a negative impact on the contribution of agriculture to GDP" [40]. Evidence from Malaysia through observations by Say Peng et al [41] suggested that labour shortages due to mobility restrictions led to a decline in agri-food production.…”

“…In Arkansas, the agriculture and forestry sector as a whole suffered less during the first year of the pandemic with minor losses, but at the county and local level, the impact was more pronounced due to the distribution of industries, as reported by English et al [39]. Harvest delays and increased food losses, especially for perishables, due to mobility restrictions in the European Union were also reported by Stanisic et al [40].

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting public health crisis had an enormous impact on the global economy and its sectors. Most components were adversely affected, especially the tertiary industry (the part of a country’s economy that provides services), with different types and sizes of businesses suffering to varying degrees. Reports on the impact on agriculture are not lacking, and the crisis was perceived and responded to differently from the supply chain to the household level. The research question proposed in this paper concerns the impact of the early restrictions induced by COVID-19, namely the lockdown period from March to June 2020, on Romanian agriculture and more precisely Western Romanian crop production. Two counties in the West were selected: the county Timis for its highly favourable agricultural production and the county Caras Severin for its integrative agricultural production centred on mixed farms, where crop production is integrated with animal production towards a higher added value. Using secondary data from the National Agency for Payments and Interventions in Agriculture allowed the disaggregation of data at the level of each municipality for 2019 and 2020. The choice of this dataset was related to the level of precision, as the beneficiaries of direct payments in the respective areas are verified each year for both areas and crops. The paired two-tailed t-test was used to test the data for each LAU 2 municipality in each of the selected counties; as the crops sown in 2019 could not be affected by the COVID lockdown period in spring 2020 (March to June), the most important spring crops in terms of area in 2020 were selected and tested against the 2019 datasets. The results show that there is not enough evidence to conclude a significant statistical difference between the two years, and therefore, we cannot reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the pandemic lockdown did not affect the spring crops during their most restrictive period in spring 2020; thus, the overall influence of the COVID-19 lockdown on crop production in Western Romania was insignificant, observed only at the level of primary production. Spring crop production could have been severely affected by the restrictions imposed by the health crisis on access to certain inputs, freedom of movement for field work, and other activities closely linked to agricultural production, leading to early disruptions along the food chain.

After the end of the COVID 19 outbreak, the authors summarise the measures taken by the European Union to ensure the continuity of food supply and the functioning of the food chain during the outbreak. In addition to the EU measures, the specific measures followed by the Member States and their room for manoeuvre are presented using the Hungarian example. In this article we have also tried to elaborate the implications for the European Agricultural Policy and consequently for European Agriculture. The literature we have elaborated also covers the agricultural market processes and the implications for rural areas. However, this article focuses on the Hungarian public law implications of the legislation and the Hungarian judgement practical issues of its application.Our article also discusses the link between the extreme drought year 2022 and the pandemic. We will look at why the extraordinary legal instruments used under COVID '19 were appropriate to deal with the consequences of extreme weather.

“…The negative effects of the pandemic on the economy, trade, human health, society, environment, tourism, culture, education and more are now well-documented [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. According to the World Health Organization [16], globally there have been 775 million confirmed cases, including 7.03 million deaths in more than 210 countries, and the International Monetary Fund [17] estimates that the global economy shrunk by 4.4% in 2020, which is the biggest decline since the Great Depression of the 1930s.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic affected many aspects of human life including consumer behavior. The main aim of this paper was to identify basic patterns of changes in consumer attitudes towards agri-food products under the influence of the 2020 pandemic and to better understand to what extent and what kind of food market problems appeared for the inhabitants of the Danube microregion. For this purpose, an explorative study was elaborated. Assuming that the experience of COVID-19 affected consumer attitudes and sense of food security, a hybrid survey was conducted in the Danube microregion (Croatia, Serbia and Romania) during 2022. Data collected from a total of 903 respondents were statistically analyzed in SPSS. Descriptive statistics, PCA, ANOVA and t-Test were employed. The main results have shown that although the surveyed population of the Danube microregion during the pandemic in 2020 was generally not afraid of food shortages, food was in most part available for their families and their shopping habits have not changed to a large degree, the experience of the pandemic has raised the level of awareness about some issues related to food and specifically the prices of food products. Also, three different patterns of attitude and behavior towards food and agriculture, which emerged as a result of the experience of the pandemic in 2020, were identified. These patterns also proved to be different for different segments of the population. The findings suggest the need for stronger support for the development of locally affordable food systems with the use of ICT as a coping mechanism in crises.
