Delivery services in Brazil have increased due to many people being at home, complying with social isolation, the so-called delivery, an English word that means “delivery”, has increased exponentially.
Mainly in large capitals, where the concentration of companies that make deliveries is more frequent, but it is important to remember that the Ministry of Health has recommended that these professionals use protective equipment, because it is very important to avoid contagion.
It is known that in recent weeks this modality has grown a lot, but on the other hand it is also a challenging job, because it has also become another way of risking one's own life.
Traders have reported improvements in the sector
Other small farmers already accustomed to solidarity-based direct trade arrangements have also noticed an increase in demand for organic and sustainable fresh foods in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
