Abstract :Due to the global pandemic, which has recently spread all over the world, supply chain resilience and flexibility of industries became more important than ever. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, both the increase in consumption and the occasional halt in production have led to a focus on agricultural food supply chains. With this pandemic, new challenges, threats and different opportunities have emerged for agri-food supply chains. In this study, the effects of COVID-19 on agri-food sector which has an important place in Turkey`s economy has been discussed and the results have been compared with the world leader United States. The basis of the study will be to compare the agri-food supply chains of both countries on the basis of real data.
