The Zambian soya market is growing rapidly with some exports being recorded. Soya beans are another type of beans which provides oil and vegetable protein more than many other plants. The growth in soya beans production and processing is mainly driven by the fast-growing poultry sector.

The Zambian soya market is growing rapidly with some exports being recorded. Soya beans are another type of beans which provides oil and vegetable protein more than many other plants. The growth in soya beans production and processing is mainly driven by the fast-growing poultry sector. The climate in Zambia is largely favourable for soya production and the arable land is vast enough to accommodate future expansion. The growth of this market made the Soybean Market in Zambia to be ranked 20th in 2020 from previous ranking of 37th.

  1. Calculate the elasticities over the price range k90 to k100 and over the

range k110 and k120, and With the aid of a clearly labelled diagram, compare your answers from parts

what can you conclude about the price elasticity of demand as the demand curve shifts to the right?

Draw also another diagram with the supposing that consumers’ incomes have increased. As a result, at each price,

20 more packs of soybeans. Calculate the price elasticity of demand over the same ranges as in part, indicate the elasticities associated
