Economic Times (India) published an article on how the coronavirus has done more than disrupt supply chains. At least 10 countries have introduced restrictions on overseas sales of grains or rice since mid-March, according to IFPRI’s COVID-19 Food Trade Policy Tracker, and while many of those actions might not stick, that such threats were made at all serves as a wake-up call to governments. As Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber states, “Food is a pretty emotional topic when there is not enough of it.” Republished in about twenty international and US media sources including Business Standard India, MSN Philippines, Bloomberg, Yahoo Canada, The Farmer, Southeast Farm Press.
