Which of the following would cause a coffee producer’s supply curve to shift to the right?
Improved harvesting methods
Reduced crop yield
Consumers switching to other drinks
Reduction in competition
A rightward shift in the supply curve means an increase in supply at the same price level.
Why is Option A Correct?
Improved harvesting methods lead to higher productivity, reducing production costs and increasing supply.
Why Not Other Options?
B (Reduced crop yield) → This would decrease supply (leftward shift).
C (Consumers switching drinks) → Affects demand, not supply.
D (Reduction in competition) → Fewer producers might reduce supply.
