摘要

目的 冠状病毒疾病(COVID-19)大流行继续影响经济系统,对生计造成破坏性后果。轶事证据预测了 COVID-19 对粮食系统参与者生计的不利影响。2020 年 3 月和 2021 年 6 月,乌干达经历了两次封锁,政府采取了不同的遏制措施。在第一次封锁期间,生鲜食品市场的售卖被认为是满足城市食品需求的关键,因此尽管禁止公共和私人运输,但仍免于全面封锁。因此,本研究试图考察 COVID-19 封锁措施对乌干达生鲜食品市场贩卖业务的影响。研究结果研究结果显示,COVID-19 对生鲜食品商贩的收入产生了显著的负面影响,其中女性商贩受到的影响最大。COVID-19 限制措施减少了买家的多样性、个人客户和交易商品的数量,从而对商贩的收入造成了更大的影响。研究局限性/影响由于无法获得在数据收集时未返回市场的商贩的数据,因此限制了研究范围。此外,由于缺乏第二次封锁的数据,因此分析范围仅限于 2020 年 3 月的封锁期。原创性/价值实证分析强调了危机如何加剧不同性别类别的脆弱性。该研究提供了经验证据,证明 COVID-19 大流行造成了各种市场扭曲,并对女性和男性市场商贩造成了不成比例的影响,这就要求在未来的市场系统规划中纳入女性视角,并倡导对性别问题有敏感认识的恢复对策。

The effect of COVID-19 containment measures on fresh food market vendors in Uganda
PurposeThe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues to impact economic systems, with devastating consequences on livelihoods. Anecdotal evidence has predicted the adverse effects of COVID-19 on the livelihood of food system actors. Uganda experienced two lockdowns in March 2020 and June 2021 with varying government containment measures. During the first lockdown, fresh food market vending was deemed essential to meet urban food demand, and was consequently exempted from a total shutdown despite the ban on public and private transport. Thus, this study sought to examine the effect of COVID-19 containment measures on fresh food market vending businesses in Uganda.Design/methodology/approachUsing primary data collected from fresh food market vendors, this study applied a pooled time-series estimation to examine the effect of the first lockdown COVID-19 containment measures on fresh food vendors' welfare.FindingsThe study revealed that COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the income of fresh food vendors, with female vendors being the most affected. COVID-19 containment measures reduced the diversity of buyers, individual customers and the number of commodities traded in causing a greater impact on vendors' income.Research limitations/implicationsThe unavailability of data for vendors who did not return to the market at the time of data collection limits the scope of the study. Additionally, the absence of data for the second lockdown limited the analysis to only March 2020 lockdown period.Originality/valueThe empirical analysis highlights how vulnerabilities of different gender categories could be exacerbated by crises. The study provides empirical evidence of various market distortions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the disproportionate impact on women and men market vendors which calls for the need to integrate women's perspectives in future planning for market systems as well as advocating for gender-sensitive recovery responses.
