A pandemic is not a novel occurrence in human history; mankind has faced numerous pandemics throughout history. Pandemics are characterised by their severe negative consequences on the global economy. COVID-19 has been shown to have an impact on the entire food supply chain, from the field to the consumer, in one of the most vital areas of the economy. There is presently substantial worry regarding food production, processing, distribution, and demand in light of recent issues in the food supply chain. Workers' mobility limitations, changes in consumer demand, the closure of food production facilities, restricted food trade laws, and financial pressures in the food supply chain all resulted from COVID-19.Financial assistance should be provided to small farmers or vulnerable populations. Facilities should adjust working conditions and implement safety measures to protect employees' health and safety. To avoid an increase in food prices, food protectionist policies should be avoided. Finally, each country must recognise the gravity of the issue and may need to tighten or loosen precautions in response to the pandemic's spread. The food supply chain's supply network should also be flexible enough to adjust to difficulties. The goal of this analysis is to assess COVID-19's impact on the agriculture and food sectors, as well as to highlight the recommendations needed to mitigate and contain the pandemic's effects.
