Agri-advisory services in COVID-19 crisis in India

Like many other countries, India is also under lockdown where almost 50% of the population is confirmed at their home to stop further virus spread, 70% of the country’s population is professionally integrated to the agricultural sector directly or indirectly. However, crucial workers are on their duty including those who are actively involved in producing and distributing food to people. On the other hand, the international and domestic supply chains for seed, agrochemical, agro machinery, fertilizer, pesticides have been disrupted due to restrictions of the transport system, and limited manpower. So farmers and agri-value stakeholders have been facing a lot of challenges in order to bridge the chain from the farm to food due to the current scenario, since the advent of the pandemic. Planting delays mainly for rice have already been observed in many places in India. In order to ensure the farmers do not face problems in harvesting crops, the Indian government has already taken necessary steps and exempted wholesale markets, procurement agencies, agri-machinery hiring centers, and farm operations from the lockdown protocols. Despite several rules and promises from government agencies, farmers still feel very insecure and anxious. They are facing a huge loss in their crop yield in the midst of COVID 19.
