2 2. Unstable export marketsSometimes the exports of developing nations are concentrated in only one or a few primary products. For example, according to World Bank data,tobacco constitutes 50% of Malawi's total exports. Therefore, changes in demand or supply of tobacco can have significant effects on the health ofMalawi's economy.The current world price of tobacco is $5.00 per pound, but there is uncertainty about the shape of the demand and supply curves. The followinggraphs (scenario A and scenario B) show two possibilities for demand and supply in the market for tobacco.Suppose that an adoption of healthier lifestyles in advanced countries leads to a fall in the global demand for tobacco.On the following graph, shift the demand or supply curve of scenario A to show what happens in the market for tobacco as a result of this event.Note: Select and drag one or both the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps backto its original position, just drag it a little farther.PRICE (Dollars)10987610321001Scenario ASupplyDemand2 3 4 5 6 7 8QUANTITY (Pounds of tobacco)10DemandSupply?
