Impact of the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Family Farms in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The COVID-19 pandemic has had unprecedented effects on all dimensions of human life. Industries of all kinds have been forced to rapidly change how they work, and agriculture is no different. The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in the Czech Republic in March 2020, posed huge risks for agricultural production. Food demand and supply shocks caused by the COVID-19 outbreak affected agriculture negatively through COVID-19 policies. At the same time, significant reductions in income, restrictions on the movement of people and the closure of restaurants and food services induced rapid changes in food consumption patterns. Family farms are considered a very important form of Czech agriculture and it was these farmers who were particularly exposed to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first part of the paper presents the specifics of agricultural business. Then an analysis of Czech agriculture in terms of its structure is performed. The next part of the paper summarizes all the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Czech agricultural enterprises. Based on an online survey of 26 family farms, this paper examines the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on family farms’ production and operation in the Czech Republic. The article also discusses the possibilities of supporting and strengthening the family farming sector.
