COVID-19 Impact on the Fruit and Vegetable Seeds Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the measures taken to control the pandemic have a crippling effect on the agriculture sector across the globe. Many countries have adopted several emergency measures to combat the COVID-19 crisis. These measures range from closing borders and public institutions, as well as isolating homes, communities, and the total lockdown of regions and the entire state. These mitigation measures have resulted in various disruptions in the functioning of markets and supply chains for agricultural inputs and products. Seeds are the starting point for agricultural production; therefore, during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, seed delivery is among the essential services that must continue to support the current and subsequent production cycles.

However, issues related to the transportation of seeds either domestically or internationally, due to the reduced number of flights, fewer drivers, and the slow process of the necessary documentation, because of fewer staff, create specific problems for the seed sector. The ornamental crop industry has been severely affected due to the closure of garden centers deemed non-essential services and loss of contracts with supermarkets. The sale of seeds to amateur gardeners has stopped. This will impact some seed suppliers, especially those with left-over stock.
