There was a sharp and sudden upward trend in the overall agricultural price index from late 2019 to early 2020, the period when the outbreak was at its worst, before it fell back after that period. And the year-over-year index shows that agricultural prices were higher in the long period after the epidemic compared to previous years.
The first area in which the outbreak has dealt a major blow to the national restaurant industry is in revenue. From the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the revenue of the catering industry during the epidemic fell sharply, and after the Spring Festival of 2020, production resumed one after another around the world, but the revenue data of the catering industry in 2020 compared with last year, most of the monthly revenue was lower than that of 2019, and the recovery speed was slow, and it was not until around November that it was roughly restored to the level of the previous years, so it can be seen that the epidemic has really brought a long-lasting and profound blow.
On top of that, the epidemic hit offline dining even more significantly. After the epidemic eased, the number of companies that were able to fully restore their previous stores within a certain period of time was very small. More than half of the companies restored less than 10 percent of their stores, according to the data. And only 3 percent of businesses were able to fully restore their business stores.
The epidemic made this unusual Spring Festival leave a deep impression on people's memories at the end of 2019, and now the aftermath of the epidemic has yet to dissipate. With the arrival of the post-epidemic era, the epidemic is no longer raging, but traces of its spread can be glimpsed everywhere. The epidemic brought not only irreversible death and destruction, but also subtle but powerful effects. A period of total isolation has a potential impact on people's emotions, attitudes, and behaviors. But diet, which is a necessary part of everyone's life, has a huge impact.
