Reasons why the supply of an agricultural commodity may be low even when the demand for it is high.
- Bulkiness of the products making it difficult to transport to places where they are demanded
- Lack of method of preservation to sell in time of scarcity
- Poor transport system that fails transportation of agricultural products
- Long biological lag makes it difficult to increase supply in short run
- Weather uncertainties disrupting production
- Use of poor technology leading to low production
- Low production due to few farmers
- Seasonality making them to be in excess in certain part of the year and in short supply in the other part of the year e.g. grasshoppers (ensenene)
- Lack of storage facilities store excess
- Lack of inputs such as land
