Abstract: Pandemics, like COVID-19, are unprecedented with huge potential for long-term disruptions and exodus in supply chain management activities. This study explores the impact of COVID-19 on the agriculture supply chain and maps potential pandemic mitigation measures for effectively managing the agriculture supply chains. The study uses a systematic content analysis of 127 articles. It examines the coping behaviour of the supply chain segment of agriculture. The study has recommended potential measures to manage agriculture supply chains in a pandemic situation. It captures COVID-19 induced factors and events that have caused a gradual breakdown in the global agriculture supply chain specifically that of India. The impact and the potential short-term and long-term mitigation mechanisms are also summarised. The study has examined different factors causing injury to the agriculture supply chain activities and laid down potential mitigation mechanisms.
