Abstract: The current COVID-19 epidemic has exerted an impact on the global food supply chain, and also has contributed to the tendency of food hoarding and short supply; strong food demand has led to a rapid rise in international food prices, which has put enormous pressure on China’s food import, and domestic food price showed a rise trend accordingly. In order to ensure sufficient and stable supply of China's food market, it is necessary to adhere to the food security strategy of "food self-sufficiency" for a long term. In the spring agricultural production, Shandong Province has taken effective measures to stabilize food production and achieved good results. It has not been greatly affected by the COVID-19 epidemic; however, under the continuous spread of foreign epidemics, we must adhere to the dual hard core operation of epidemic prevention and production, and explore the establishment of technical specifications for agricultural production under normal conditions for epidemic prevention and control to ensure the food security.
