Key Messages:

  • Though Ebonyi State did not implement a full lockdown in response to COVID-19 SMEs in the midstream and lateral supply chain nodes of the study value chains still faced disruptions that affected their activities and the activities of enterprises in related value chain nodes.

  • The challenges firms faced in Ebonyi State changed from supply chain disruptions (due to lockdown in other states) to financial challenges due to lower demand, increaseddefault in payment (among customers) and the increased sales on credit adopted by SMES in response to early challenges with market access. None of the respondents in the study sample received any assistance from any source, including government.
