Farmers in Taveta Sub-County, Taita Taveta County in Kenya experienced massive post-harvest losses occasioned by COVID-19 related market closures and moment restrictions. 



Since mid-2020, significant negative effects on people along the food supply chain – from producers to processors, marketers, transporters and consumers, continue to be recorded. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is responding to the emerging impact of COVID-19 and related containment efforts on food security and livelihoods where populations are highly vulnerable and are already experiencing food crises.
