Abstract

India confirmed its first coronavirus on January 30, 2020. A nation-wide lockdown was implemented on March 25, 2020 in order to control the spread of the the pandemic. As the constraints imposed due to the lockdown are being eased, it is an appropriate opportunity to examine the effect on various sectors of the economy. The Indian economy benefits greatly from a strong agricultural sector. Agriculture accounts for around one-sixth of India’s GDP and employs roughly half of the workforce. It has a significant impact on the economy’s secondary and tertiary sector development via its forward and backward links. The chapter reveals the impact of pandemic in Indian agricultural business.
