Travel Expenses
According to Michelle Scott (2021) travel expenses are costs associated with

Profitability
Profitability is the degree to which the value of a farm’s production exceeds the
cost of the resources used to produce it. An absolute measure of profitability is net farm
income. If the opportunity costs for the farmer’s own labor and capital are subtracted, the
remainder is profit and return to management. And according to Edwards, P. Duffy,
(2014) positive profit means that the farm has produced crops and livestock that have a
greater value than the seed, fertilizer, fuel, labour, feed, and other inputs that were used
up in their production. Profits are also highly correlated with farm size. To compare the
profitability of farms of different sizes, several ratios are used. The asset turnover ratio is
equal to the gross revenue for the entire farm divided by the value of its total assets. It
reflects the efficiency with which land, machinery, livestock, breeding and other
resources are turned into food, fuel, and fiber. Another common ratio is the rate of return
on assets (ROA), which is a measure of how much the total assets earned, on a
percentage basis.
Quality of produce
According to Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr (2012). The quality of fresh-cut fruit and vegetable
well as nutritional and safety aspects that determine their value to the consumer.
Nutritionally, fruit and vegetables represent a good source of vitamins, minerals, and
dietary fiber, and fresh-cut produce satisfies consumer demand for freshly prepared,
Labour Shortage
labour of a particular type in a particular labour market which may be said to exist when
the number of vacancies has been (or is expected to be) above a level considered to
represent 'normal' turnover at the prevailing wages and working conditions for an
extended period.
Distance
Travel distance means the distance from any point in the floor area to any exit
measured along the path or egress except that when the floor areas are sub-divided into
rooms, used singly or of rooms and served by suite corridors and passage, the travel
distance may be measured from the corridor entrance of such rooms or suites to the
nearest staircase or verandah having access to the street. Komal Shah Mike Whelan

According to Dawn Russell et. al. (2014). During the 1990s and the first part of
the 21st century, the high availability and low cost of transportation services relative to
delivery to customers through such means as just-in-time delivery. But things have
changed dramatically in the last decade, and companies increasingly are calling such
long-standing strategies into question. The "game changers" are volatile, escalating oil
prices and an imbalance of supply and demand for freight transport services. These
realities have led to high transportation costs—high enough to cause companies to make
Even before the Covid 19 pandemic came to our world there were already
infectious diseases that also brought about change in our society along with the trade of
vegetables or food. There were also travel restrictions when the H1N1 virus spread. One
of the things that was affected was the delivery and existence of the Travel band due to
the protection of countries from the virus that spread during 2009.
According to the source in the recent 2009 H1N1 pandemic (H1N1pdm), control
measures included travel bans to/from Mexico, the screening of travelers on entry into
airports, and travel advisories against non-essential travel to Mexico. The aggregation of
validate a modeling approach to the global spread of epidemics that integrates detailed
information on human mobility and travel. In the present work, we use the Global
demographic and mobility data, allows the calibration to the H1N1pdm data of the
invasion during the early stage of the epidemic and the exploration of hypothetical
scenarios in which reductions in the international travel to/from Mexico with different
timing and magnitude are considered. Interventions acting on mobility are found to be
scarcely efficient in delaying the invasion process of the pandemic. This computational
where the critical value is crucially affected by the topological fluctuations of the
mobility network.
Strategies of Travel Restrictions in Agriculture during Pandemic
The current Covid-19 pandemic has impacted tourism industry the hardest and
has steered a total standstill in the multibillion industries, causing economic crisis
globally. This paper attempts to assess the impacts and management strategies of
interviews was deemed appropriate for this research. This paper focuses on agritourism
farms in Brunei during Covid-19 to study the implication and contingency plans to divert
such crises. According to Wee Lee Chin(2021) the findings from this study indicates that
strategies employed by the Brunei agritourism farms were (1) the diversification of
tourism revenue loss; (2) digital transformation such as, contact tracing app, the
introduction of virtual tourism as well as the use of social media to promote agritourism
capacity building such as up skilling and training of local farmers to stimulate new
agritourism skills and establish more future-ready workforce. The strategies adopted by
the agritourism farms in Brunei could provide lessons to neighbouring countries and the
The Pandemic-travel restriction affects not only the other business like clothing,
amusement parks and more but also it affects how the retailers of foods make their
decisions. There are evidences that suggest that the restriction of travels led to significant
changes in vegetables prices (Hirvonen, K. et. al. 2020). The prices of vegetables change
because of additional criteria and behavior of the trades. It affects how retailers make
decisions on how they will profit and will not lose more money.
In addition, According to the studies of Hai-ying, G. et. al. (2020), the pandemic
has an impact on all stages of vegetable supply chain especially in the sales stage that
leads to lower the price of vegetables and become a serious losses for the farmers. As the
vegetable price hikes, it is more likely to have fewer sales. With that, the sellers need to
lower the price to sell their vegetables and suffer losses. To make a wiser decision, the
sellers or retailers need to make strategies to at least gain even little profits.
