Abstract

This study assessed implications of the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic on household food security among B40 households in Malaysia during Movement Control Order (MCO) using online survey data from 803 respondents. Results show that more 37.73 per cent the respondents experienced income shocks due to the COVID-19 crisis.  For the coping strategies for that time, the study found that 83.31 per cent of these B40 households buy goods in stores that offer low prices,  3.74 per cent borrow money from relatives or neighbours to continue survival, picking vegetables around the house area with 32.28 per cent and 26.9 per cent to do business online. The results suggest that ongoing and future government responses should focus on structural changes in social protection by developing responsive  for the long term  and more focused to build up human capital among B40 households through skill and training   to ensure the resilience of food security and sustainability among groups
