Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this research is the economic estimate that was presented in the supply of the agricultural sector due to COVID-19. The agri-food chains maintained their activities since their products are of great importance. Benefits were estimated for the farmer, since the prices of inputs and agrochemical products decreased considerably, reducing production costs, during the period from January 2018 to April 2021, through the application of a Linear Regression Model with polynomial trend. Finally, the study has an approach based on the supply performance of the agricultural sector during the period of confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and at the same time recognize the positive or negative economic impact that the production and marketing of the sector has achieved in recent times.
