As COVID-19 spreads around the globe, various border controls and containment measures have been introduced to contain the disease across countries These controls could potentially lead to hiccups in global food security The effects could be even stronger in those countries that are already facing exceptional emergencies due to ongoing or emerging conflicts and natural disasters Currently, the global food supply is generally sufficient and the food prices remain stable But there could be severe threats to global food security if the COVID-19 further spreads Global food supply will be affected as a consequence of value chain disruption from lockdowns and other restrictions Restrictions on movement within and across countries can hinder food-related logistic services, disrupt entire food supply chains and affect food availability Export restrictions will affect both low-income countries that depend on food imports and developing countries that depend on the export of primary agricultural products The possible global recession caused by the COVID-19 spread will lead to reductions in income and purchasing power of residents, making it more difficult for residents to obtain adequate nutritious food Countries need to work together to strengthen cooperation during this pandemic that is affecting all regions of the world Governments will need to strengthen their cooperation on global governance and implement policies and programs that target those most vulnerable Trade channels should be kept open E-commerce and delivery companies should be encouraged to play a key role to secure continued food access both domestically and internationally
