Abstract:

The global pandemic negatively impacted various sectors of the economy. The responsive measures of government to combat global pandemic resulted in various travel restrictions and temporary lockdown of markets. The travel restricts created disturbances in supply chain due to which there are unnecessary wastages of supplies and increasing stocks at warehouses. Several business sectors faced huge losses and closed down their organizations. The agriculture sector faced limited restrictions due to the approval of government for agriculture sector as essential and exemption from any travel movement.  There are huge cereal stocks and production stocks but we can say that COVID impacts are limited on agriculture sector as compared other sectors of the economy. There are various challenges and opportunities for agriculture sector which will be discussed in detail in this essay.
