The agriculture sector may have survived the Covid-19 crisis, but it is still vulnerable to the threat of climate change. Now, that the lockdown is over and the situation has improved, it appears that climate change is a bigger threat to the sector. Farmers from the province also believe the Covid-19 crisis had limited impact on the agriculture sector. While Covid-19 had no direct impact on agriculture, the overall demand for vegetables and fruits plunged during the health crisis. According to Bhandara, the availability of the fertilizer, which is imported, was limited during the Covid-19 crisis.
