Impact of COVID-19 on Farmers in Sagwara, India
It is now harvest season in Sagwara district in India. However, the country was placed under lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19. In effect, harvesting machines and laborers are not allowed to go outside or to travel to other villages. Without help from laborers, farmers will not be able to harvest their crops. Without harvest, farmers have no other source of income to support themselves.
