Abstract

COVID-19 has become an alarming pandemic for our earth. It has created panic not only in China but also in developing countries like Bangladesh. The COVID-19 pandemic has significant implications, including financial, economic, and social effects. It has caused massive negative impacts, especially in the agricultural sector. In rural areas, the poor farmers, dairy farmers, vegetable producers, poultry farmers are in deep crisis due to lower prices and lockdown issues. In this paper, we have summarized the Impact of COVID-19 on the Agro business in Bangladesh. The effects of the pandemic cannot be mitigated individually, but an integrated effort on the part of the state authority and the part of people from all sectors need to come forward.
