3.Due to corona virus pandemic, many farms are not able to get labours, infrastructure, consumer demand. Due to this many big farms has come to close. This is great loss to world agriculture.

4.At the time of world lockdown, many agricultural crops have ripen which are not still get market. Due to this million tons of vegetables like tomato have rotten.

5.Tons of milk are thrown due to lack of transport and people demand. The main irony is that, somewhere the food is being wasted but somewhere people are dying due to starvation.
