On 14th July 2020, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission launched a survey called "Questionnaire to operators in the agri-food supply chain on effects of the COVID-19 outbreak" to assess, with greater accuracy, the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operators in the EU agri-food supply chains. The results of the survey helped to better understand the resilience, constraints and responses of operators in the agri-food chain and contributed with the relevant evidence to the EU policy making.
