New Paper Assesses COVID-19 Measures on Aquaculture Farmers’ Livelihoods in the Mekong Region
This study assesses the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic responses on aquaculture farmers across five countries in the Mekong Region. It finds that restrictions reduced farmer mobility, disrupted input and product logistics, weakened consumer demand, and reduced incomes, while farmers responded by adjusting production, reducing labour, seeking new markets, using savings, and borrowing money.
