“…The findings show that the decline in household income (10%) is five times greater than the decline in harvested output (2.23%). The result reinforced what has been shown by Mahmud and Riley (2021) and Irawan et al. (2022) that the demand shock (falling household income) is more dominant in affecting the economy of smallholder farmer households than the supply shock.…”

“…We can find out the impact of COVID-19 on Indonesian farming households through two phenomena, namely, demand and supply shocks (Irawan et al, 2022). The pandemic will create a shocking demand for households.…”

“…A decrease in farmer household income can also occur due to COVID-19 causing the demand for agricultural labor from outside agriculture to decrease or disappear, which causes sources of income for farmers from outside agriculture to decrease or disappear. Irawan et al (2022) find out how the demand shock phenomenon is experienced by oil palm smallholder households in Indonesia. They found out that COVID-19 had an impact on reducing household income which caused oil palm smallholder households to be unable to access their household's basic needs and other goods.…”

PurposeThis study aims to verify the impact of the supply shock (fall in harvested output) and demand shock (fall in household income) due to the pandemic on the consumption of necessities and household savings of tilapia's smallholder farmer.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers randomly chose 144 households as research samples using the proportional random sampling technique in Padang Jaya District, North Bengkulu Regency. Researchers collected data on household income, farm losses, household consumption for basic needs, labor demand, use of production inputs, the amount of output sold and saving both during and before the pandemic. The data were collected from the sample using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. This study used a simultaneous equations system for arranging tilapia's smallholder farmer household economic model.FindingsThis study verified that the demand shock phenomenon makes households more severe than the supply shock phenomenon. The demand shock phenomenon made worse-off tilapia smallholder farmers because it caused their household savings to drop during the pandemic. The fall in savings will disrupt the stability of consumption of household necessities (health, food, education and clothing) in the future.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this study was providing empirical evidence about the impact of the demand and supply shock of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable entities in the Indonesian freshwater aquaculture industry, namely, smallholder farmer households of freshwater aquaculture fish.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-08-2022-0554.

“…In particular, they underline the increased environmental and health concerns by consumers, which cause a significant orientation to palm-oil free products, even though this seemed to be a decision matured long before the Covid-19 pandemic. Irawan et al (2022), moreover, focused on palm oil industry consequences deriving from Covid-19, in particular they found that demand disruption is higher than supply disruption and the decrease of household income generated the impossibility for farmers to access to basic goods. Not only, the entire supply chain has suffered the pandemic effects (Ivanov and Das, 2020), despite the growing necessity to make it more sustainable (Kasim et al, 2021), as highlighted by Hafiz et al (2022) whose study shed light to the most relevant elements of a palm oil-sustainable supply chain, which are firstly environmental costs, rapidity and adaptability, in particular in a post-pandemic period.…”

PurposePalm oil is widely used in the food industry; however, there are two main controversies connected to its use, namely, its nutritional value and the environmental consequences deriving from its crop. In Italy, the use of palm oil has recently been criticized, insomuch that some important bakery companies decided to substitute it, creating a real food marketing case. Through a focus on biscuits, this study is aimed at profiling consumers with regard to palm oil issue to better comprehend if the presence of this ingredient truly influences their food purchases and if they care about the nutritional and environmental aspects, highlighting the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on consumers' consumption.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was administered to 243 subjects in Italy, in order to apply a cluster analysis.FindingsThe findings show the presence of three main kinds of consumers: (1) compromise finders (sensitive to cost savings but trying to privilege palm-oil free food), (2) brand-loyal consumers (palm oil does not influence their preferences) and (3) healthsensitives (the presence of palm oil profoundly affects their choices), who represent the majority of our sample. The results and implications are discussed.Originality/valueResearch on palm oil is essentially focused on chemistry, natural sciences or on its industrial uses: this study analyzes the consumer point of view by applying a different methodology compared to existing studies.

Purpose The global outbreak of COVID-19 and its subsequent varied impacts on different economic activities necessitate to examine its disruptions and impacts on livestock sector in India due to its recently surging potential as an unrivaled alternative to boost farmer’s income.Design/methodology/approachThe studies for review were identified through search in different databases using relevant keywords. Only full text papers written in English language were reviewed. The review was organized and streamlined using Covidence software.FindingsAnalysis of the literature reveals adverse effects of COVID-19 on functioning of input and output stages of livestock supply chains. This has resulted in upstream and downstream economic losses that affect livelihoods of the producers.Research limitations/implicationsScale of unprecedented crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic requires creative policy decisions to make livestock production systems robust, resilient and sustainable. Organized production systems are required to integrate with livestock-tech startups to modernize their supply chains, whereas local supply chains are required to reorient with government’s intervention in terms of developing on-farm production and postproduction processing facilities.Originality/valueAlthough there exist some evidence on COVID-19-related impacts on livestock sector of India, but an integrated review of evidence on COVID-19 related disruptions at all the stages (from input supply to marketing) of livestock supply chains was missing.
