What happens to the price of a agricultural product when demand exceeds supply?
Explanation
When demand exceeds supply, prices rise. Many buyers competing for limited products bid prices up – basic economics of scarcity.
In agriculture: dry season vegetable scarcity raises prices; abundant harvest lowers them. Understanding this helps farmers time production and sales.
Price signals guide production decisions – high prices encourage more planting; low prices discourage it.
