The emergence of the coronavirus has severely affected agriculture in developed and developing countries. It can already be seen that the demand for perishable products will not recover soon, and the shortage of seasonal workers in developed countries will also cause more confusion. In the next decade, global demand will increase, especially for poultry and fish – agrarszektor.hu wrote.

The emergence of the coronavirus has been a major concern for agriculture and the food industry. The initial shock affected all European states: with the cessation of tourism and hospitality, a lot of short-lived food was wasted or longer-term storage had to be solved – Magyar Nemzet wrote. Restrictions on free movement have also dampened demand, and the shortage of seasonal workers has caused a serious situation, especially in Western European countries. Transport difficulties also contributed mainly to the drastic decline in demand for perishable goods. (agrarszektor.hu)
