Purpose - The objective is to have a better understanding of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food supply chain in Wuhan. Design/methodology/approach - Through a simplified flow, the authors qualitatively analyze the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food supply chain. Data was gathered through a telephone survey of food suppliers in Wuhan. Findings - The prevention measures of the COVID-19 pandemic had negative impacts on food supply chain in Wuhan. About 83.1% of food suppliers experienced a decrease in revenues. This is influenced by factors including food category on sale, purchase channel of food, food supplier's household registration and the number of the COVID-19 patients in the located community. Research limitations/implications - Due to the limitation of available data, there is a lack of quantitative analysis on the impact on food supply chain. The sample size of food suppliers is limited. Practical implications - This study identifies the challenges in the food supply chain resulting from the control measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan and provides a reference for the design of control measures in other regions. Originality/value - This study supplements the literature regarding the impact of public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic on food supply chain, especially food suppliers' revenues.

COVID-19大流行下武汉食品供应链的概况

目的-目的是更好地了解COVID-19大流行对武汉食品供应链的影响。设计/方法/方法-通过简化的流程，作者定性分析了COVID-19大流行对食品供应链的影响。通过对武汉食品供应商的电话调查收集了数据。调查结果-预防COVID-19大流行的措施对武汉的食品供应链产生了负面影响。约83.1％的食品供应商收入下降。这受以下因素影响：所售食品类别，食品购买渠道，食品供应商的户口登记以及所在社区中COVID-19患者的数量。研究限制/意义-由于可用数据的限制，缺乏对食品供应链影响的定量分析。食品供应商的样本数量有限。实际意义-本研究确定了在武汉COVID-19大流行期间实施的控制措施对食品供应链的挑战，并为其他地区的控制措施设计提供了参考。原创性/价值-这项研究补充了有关公共卫生紧急事件（例如COVID-19大流行）对食品供应链（尤其是食品供应商的收入）的影响的文献。实际意义-本研究确定了在武汉COVID-19大流行期间实施的控制措施对食品供应链的挑战，并为其他地区的控制措施设计提供了参考。原创性/价值-这项研究补充了有关公共卫生紧急事件（例如COVID-19大流行）对食品供应链（尤其是食品供应商的收入）的影响的文献。实际意义-本研究确定了在武汉COVID-19大流行期间实施的控制措施对食品供应链的挑战，并为其他地区的控制措施设计提供了参考。原创性/价值-这项研究补充了有关公共卫生紧急事件（例如COVID-19大流行）对食品供应链（尤其是食品供应商的收入）的影响的文献。
