Abstract: The fight against Covid-19 has so far become tight with more strict policies to curtail the spread of the virus across the state and Nigeria at large. This review was done with the sole aim of determining the effect of Coronavirus lockdown on few active farmers in Rivers State, Nigeria as a state which less attention is payed to farmers and farming because of crude oil and its exploration. 20 farmers and 10 market women were interviewed in few villages and markets (Rumuokoro, Slaughter, Oil-Mill) between April and May, 2020 in Rivers state respectively, which showed that few active farmers were positively affected as they sold out their produce with high profit and low to zero loss.
