Abstract
Agriculture has relevant particularities that make this sector different from other economic activities. These frameworks imply the need for adjusted strategies and make the agricultural policy among the most important public interventions to correct, namely market failures. This is one explanation of why, for example, the CAP (common agricultural policy) is the most famous policy in the European Union context. The aim of this chapter is to carry out an assessment of the agricultural policies' impacts from, specifically, the Covid-19 pandemic. Statistical information from the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) database for the period 2018-2021 was considered for agricultural support and producer protection. It seems that in specific contexts agricultural policies could have a more relevant contribution to support the farmers dealing with the challenges created by the pandemic.
