Agriculture sector is vital for India in view of the food and nutritional security of the nation as well as the fact that the sector remains the principal source of livelihood for more than 58% of the population though its contribution to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has declined over the past years and has reached 14.2% in 2010-11 due to higher growth experienced in industries and services sectors (GOI, 2011). Indian agriculture is dominated by small and marginal farmers as Small and marginal holdings (below 2.00 ha.) taken together constituted 83.29 percent of the total number of holdings in 2005-06 (the latest available data) against 81.80 in 2000-01 (GOI, 2011). This paper will present a study on Impacts of COVID-19 on agriculture sector and food supply in India.
