Abstract

The aim of this report is to provide insights into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operators in the agri-food supply chain in the European Union (EU). The analyses are based on a survey carried out among business operators and umbrella organisations between July 2020 and January 2021. Overall, the survey includes responses from 280 business operators and 199 umbrella organisations across the EU. The focus of the survey is on identifying the specific difficulties faced by operators in the agri-food chain in the EU during the first lockdown period (i.e. when there were various measures restricting movements of people, increased border controls between Member States, and the shutdown of non-essential parts of the economy) and the subsequent ‘deconfinement’ period as lockdown eased (i.e. as the quarantine, movement restrictions and border controls were progressively lifted). It also identifies the most pressing bottlenecks and measures undertaken to mitigate the impact of the pandemic in various areas of business activity, and future expectations about business continuity.
