“…The impact of the covid pandemic on agriculture is unlimited (Ceyclan and Ozkan, 2020;Pu & Zhong, 2020;Wang & Huang, 2021). Fears of food shortage became a concern by the second quarter of 2020 as food supply chains were affected (Lin and Xhang, 2020).…”

“…Local food production has already been severely reduced in Ghana through excessive deforestation (Nimo et al, 2021;Afele et al, 2022) and illegal gold mining (Osman et al, 2022). Generally, the effect of the COVID-19 on agriculture has to be considered in the scope of supply and demand dimensions (Ceyclan and Ozkan, 2020). Although movements were restricted across many countries, the production of food and other operations in the agricultural value chain could not be completely stopped (Bilali, 2020;Rozaki, 2020;Ceyclan and Ozkan, 2020).…”

“…Crops, mostly perishables, were still exported though at lower rates and quantities (Lin and Xhang, 2020). The pandemic first largely impacted the Mediterranean countries in Europe (Ceyclan and Ozkan, 2020). These economies mainly rely on agriculture as they have the capacity to produce in large quantities for exportation (Lin and Xhang, 2020).…”

“…Agriculture is the largest employer in most African countries, employing about 70% of the workforce (Thow et al, 2019). This sector being the backbone of human survival was largely hit by the pandemic (Bilali, 2020;Ceyclan and Ozkan, 2020;Muyiramye 2020;Rozaki, 2020;Wang & Huang, 2021). This rendered the world handicapped economically.…”

Food production, its availability and accessibility will continue to be a key contributor to human existence. The world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020 and its effect trickled to reduced production in many industries across the globe. Understanding effects of the pandemic in Ghana triggered this paper. The study took the form of a desk review where current studies across the globe on the effect of the pandemic on agriculture and food security were reviewed, after which it was supported by data from questionnaire administrations. Across the globe, agricultural production experienced a reduction which phased into food security and its pricing. This was not limited to the extremely affected countries, but also, in countries were COVID-19 infections were low, agriculture, food security and its pricing experienced negative impacts. One key limiting factor that spiked the challenge in the agricultural sector was that reduced availability of labour for production. In many leading food producing countries, the challenge become acute when perishable food crops began to get damaged. In Ghana, the virus similarly led to restrictions in movements in and between epicenters. It was reported that, 77.4% of Ghanaians in a study conducted by the Ghana Statistical Service were negatively affected by the increased prices in food sold in the country. Without immediate and effective management as well as policy interventions from the Ghanaian government, it is highly possible for most farmers and agricultural businesses to completely collapse. This communication is to highlight some ongoing and disturbing effects of the pandemic to policy makers as well as individual and governmental strategies that are been put in place to curb adverse effects on food production. This will help enhance Ghanaians standards of living amidst economic challenges.
