The Nature of Markets - Effect on Supply

Now look at the effect on supply. The bird flu issue might mean that millions of birds might have to be killed if the disease was to reach the UK. What do you think would happen to the market for turkeys now?

Again, use the slider to move the supply curve to the right if you think supply will rise and to the left if you think supply will fall and then watch what happens to price and the amount bought and sold.
