31 participants from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the US discussed the impact of COVID19 on ARD and food security (FS)for about one hour. This blogpost presents a summary of the main discussion points.
During this crisis poor rural communities in developing countries will be especially vulnerable. Recessions will reduce the demand for rural output and labor. Volatile commodity and food prices will negatively affect rural producers. Agricultural and food supply chains will be interrupted.
Chinese “Green Channels” may provide an important model. China is providing production incentives to farmers, allowing free transit of agricultural supply trucks with a permit to quarantined areas, and cracking down on profiteering).
Rural public services (including extension, etc.) and rural credit flows will be negatively affected. Seasonal agricultural labor migration and cross border migration (and hence remittances) will face barriers. There will be reduced priority given in national budgets and international assistance to ARD and food security as the COVID-19 crisis response focuses mainly on health and macroeconomic concerns.
Impact on supply chains:
Time horizon:
There will be short, medium, and long-term challenges for ARD and food security.
Implications for policy makers and aid partners:
o Governments and multilateral organizations will face pressure to move budget resources from agriculture to health.
o National and international organizations need to take a leadership role in calling attention to the importance of securing food production and supply chains, and offer analysis and guidance, .
o The replenishment of international assistance for ARD/FS windows must not be shortchanged.
