Abstract

The novel corona virus was first identified in December 2019 and it is a respiratory disease, which had affected to at least 240 countries on the earth. Corona virus has rapidly spread across the world and devastated the lives of millions of people on the earth. Corona virus has affected each and every sector of the economy and it is very difficult to measure its impact on each and every sector separately. One can predict the losses and damaged caused by the virus spread on the bases of available data and facts. Though there are some sectors in which data is not available now, but it can be predicted from the past crisis that the after effect of the pandemic might be more severe than our prediction. These sectors may be the most vulnerable sector and highly affected sectors due to this virus. Agriculture and food sector is one of the sector in which it is very difficult to predict the impact of COVID-19 as of late March, 2020, the impact of this virus on agriculture and food security

Keywords
