The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) are cooperating with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to draft a response plan and provide direct assistance to farmers continuing to produce food for their communities.
FAO and WFP are now completing an assessment of the Covid-19 impact on farmers and smallholders across Laos in supporting the ministry’s assistance to farmers including the supply of seeds, home gardening kits, animal healthcare items and technical support.
