Abstract	The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 blockade on India's agricultural production, livelihood, food security and dietary diversity. The Prime Minister of India announced a complete blockade on March 24, 2020. As a result, tens of thousands of people have fled major cities due to unemployment and returned to rural areas to escape the pressure to support their families in high-cost cities. .. They returned to the unemployed in their village and competed for local jobs with other migrant workers who could not travel to find jobs in other communities currently suffering from labour shortages. Rural markets have been completely or partially closed due to obstacles that prevent farmers and harvesters from earning income. As a result, farmers were in urgent need of funding to maintain their agricultural system, especially since April is the harvest season for rabbi (spring). In conclusion, it was found that the Indian quarantine from COVID-19 mainly affects the sales capacity of farmers.
