Resumen
Descripción
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures throughout Asia have had measurable impacts on trade flows, causing trade disruptions and temporary interruptions. Under COVID-19 lockdowns, cross-border trade either slowed or came to a halt due to border closures or direct import or export restrictions.
International trade disruption also affected several countries, interrupting the flow of critical goods, staple foods, agricultural inputs and equipment needed for domestic food production, SDGs processing, and consumption. In the short-term, following COVID-19 lockdown, trade flows were more volatile for fresh produce, live animals, livestock products, and fresh or dry fish, all of which experienced a drop in demand and cancelled exports.
This action sheet presents FAO's COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme's key priority area of "Trade, intra-regional trade and food safety standards" for Asia and the Pacific.
