“…By looking at commodity supply chains as a whole, they documented the costs of the pandemic on current production and incomes but also looking into future seasons and anticipated that some emerging values chains may be fundamentally weakened. Acosta et al (2021) documented similar long-term costs from the pandemic to the global dairy sector and speculated that the pandemic would accelerate the existing structural consolidation processes. Lopez-Ridaura et al (2021) documented similar inequalities in costs and impacts for agricultural systems in Central America and Mexico.…”

“…The same phenomenon occurred in the United Kingdom and Canada [12,13]. In contrast, in other countries, such as Colombia, Chile, and Brazil, an increase in milk demand was observed [14]. In Italy, one of the most affected countries worldwide [15], the eating behavior of the population was severely modified by the imposed restrictions.…”

Food consumption behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed worldwide as a consequence of the restrictions imposed by law and/or due to the fear of contamination. Although some similarities are found among countries, there are still many particularities for each nation. The present study focused on Romanian consumers and their consumption behavior related to four main food categories: fruits and vegetables, meat and meat products, bread and bakery products, and milk and milk products. Frequency of buying, shopping habits, place of purchase, and concerns related to the place of purchasing food products during the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed in comparison with the pre-COVID-19 period using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics regarding an online survey. Three types of behavior were identified as being related to the frequency of buying and to organizing a shopping list (less often, no change, more often). Two groups of consumers were identified as being related to the place of purchasing food: people with the same habits and people with new habits. Concerns related to the location of the stores and to the choice of buying directly from producers were also investigated using the ordered logistic regression. The empirical study revealed the new consumption patterns with a reflection on future trends.

“…It is imperative to focus on long-term strategies to be well prepared for or to prevent similar or even more severe disruptions to agricultural supply chains in the future. Second, governments should introduce a wide range of mechanisms to mitigate the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on agriculture sector and agricultural supply chain (Acosta et al, 2021). For instance, food sector should be excluded from travel restrictions in terms of transportation, labor and goods in both production and distribution processes.…”

PurposeIn the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam imposed many drastic restrictions to curb the outbreak of this virus. Such restrictions interrupted the normal functioning of various economic sectors, including agriculture. This research examined disruptions to agricultural activities, income loss and perceived food insecurity among farm households during the pandemic, and then explored the relationships among these economic factors.Design/methodology/approachHousehold data from Vietnam and Generalized Structural Equation Model (GSEM) were used for empirical analysis.FindingsDescriptive analyses found that only a small proportion of farm households suffered from the COVID-19 disruptions to their agricultural activities, a large percentage experienced income loss, and a medium number were worried about their food insecurity. GSEM results also revealed that the COVID-19 disruptions to agricultural activities significantly increased the likelihood of worrying about food insecurity, mediated by income loss.Research limitations/implicationsDue to data limitations, the authors could not use better indicators to define and measure the variables of interest (e.g. COVID-19 disruptions to agricultural activities, income loss and food insecurity). Another similar concern was that our models did not account for unobservables, causing some estimation biases.Originality/valueThis research is among the first attempts that examined the direct and indirect (mediated by income loss) effects of the COVID-19 disruptions to agricultural activities on food insecurity.
