Coronavirus has so far little impact on global food supply chain: WFP
April 05, 2020

World Food Programme (WFP) says the coronavirus pandemic has so far little impact on the global food supply chain, but the situation can become worse if major food importers remain anxious.

The UN agency in a new report: “COVID-19: Potential impact on the world’s poorest people", said disruptions are so far minimal, food supply is adequate, and markets are relatively stable.

However, it said the COVID-19-related containment measures can make it difficult to move the food commodities to the countries where they are consumed.
