Aims : To assess the risk perception of pineapple farmers in the context of Covid 19.

Place and Duration of the Study: Muvattupuzha block panchayat in Ernakulam district in Kerala between September 2021 to September 2022.

Methodology: The data relating to the study were collected during September 2021 from 120 pineapple farmers, using a well-structured interview schedule. Based on a four-point Likert scale, a Standardized Covid -19 Risk Perception Index (SCovRPI) was developed to assess the risk perception against fourteen identified risks faced by pineapple farmers during Covid 19. Farmers were asked to score the risks based on their level of perception.

Results: Realisation of low price, restrictions in transportation, low demand for pineapple in market, disruption in farming activities and non-availability of adequate hired labour are the major risks perceived by pineapple farmers during Covid 19.

Conclusion: findings of the study are relevant for policymakers as they work to seek remedial measures that enhance the living standards and resilience of pineapple farmers.
