What determines Supply of Tomatoes

The price of tomatoes• Higher the price = greater quantity.

The prices of alternative products• Production depends on prices of alternative

products (outputs). Which vegetables to grow?

• Eg. price of cauliflowers increases – more cauliflowers and fewer tomatoes.

Prices of factors of production and other inputs• Quantity supplied depends on costs of

production. • Eg. cost of labour, fertiliser, machinery

increases - smaller quantity of tomatoes will be supplied at each price than before.

Expected future prices• Farmers influenced by future expectations• Eg. higher expected future prices – increased

supply of tomatoes.
