The government measures to curb the virus and the resilience of the food system during this crisis have been thoroughly discussed throughout the paper. Furthermore, demand-side shocks along with panic buying and the shift in consumption trends due to lock-down measures and social distancing have also been discussed. Potential changes in the food supply curve are evaluated, including issues like limited workforce, and transport and travel restrictions.
