Was a government policy able to smooth a fractured agri-food value chain during a COVID-19 lockdown?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119281
Abstract
Despite widespread use of government policy

lockdowns had on agri-food value chains, there is
limited evidence on their effectiveness and impacts on
value chain actors, particularly those in the ‘missing
or (hidden) middle.’ 1 To shed on one such policy, we
examine whether a fresh fruit and vegetable (FFV)
procurement program operated by…
