Abstract
The measures put into place to mitigate the COVID-19 health crisis
around the world have disrupted global supply chains and sent
commodity prices tumbling. We argue that, while the nature of the
The COVID-19 crisis is unprecedented, and the unfolding consequences for
primary commodity export-dependent economies are not. By
developing a state-centred adaptive supply chain resilience
framework and drawing on past experiences, we identify three
impact channels that are specific to commodity exporters: a price, a
supply chain and a financial channel. Taking Ghana as a case study,
we show how the interplay of these three channels can be
particularly damaging.
