COVID-19 may have significant impacts on traditional food retail shops, which affects the availability and affordability of food for consumers. In this blog post, IFPRI researchers assess how the pandemic is affecting retailers in urban areas.
This section includes assessments on state of the agrifood system in Myanmar based on the Myanmar Agricultural Performance Survey (MAPS) and key informant phone surveys. MAPS is a nationally and sub-nationally representative phone survey, conducted every 6 months on approximately 5,000 farming households. Assessments in this section will examine input use and input prices, farm management practices, agricultural outputs and output prices, and the impacts of shocks on production. This will be complimented by assessments on key actors in the agrifood systems, such as mechanization service providers, agricultural input retailers, agricultural commodity traders, rice millers and food vendors.
