Written by Siyanda Sishuba A strong increase in global demand for citrus has so far been evident in the 2020 export season, according to Justin Chadwick, CEO of the Citrus Growers' Association of Southern Africa. In a statement, Chadwick said increased global demand for lemons had resulted in 4,5 million 15kg-equivalent cartons being shipped to date. This was double the 1,8 million cartons exported during the same period in 2019. https://www.farmersweekly.co.za/agri-news/south-africa/strong-demand-for-sa- citrus-at-start-of-2020-export-season/[Accessed 19 March 2021].

- The following is an excerpt from an article in the Singaporean newspaper, the Straits Times: Singaporeans with a sweet tooth could soon find themselves paying more for their favourite treats, as bakers and confectioners buckle under soaring sugar prices. Since March last year, the price of white sugar has shot up by 70 per cent, according to the New York Board of Trade. As if that didn’t make life difficult enough for bakers, butter and cheese prices have also risen, by 31 per cent and 17 per cent respectively. The increases have been caused by various factors: a steep drop in Thailand’s sugarcane production due to drought, higher sea freight charges, increasing demand from China’s consumers for dairy products and the strong Australian and New Zealand dollar. For the consumer in Singapore, what this may eventually boil down to is a more expensive bag of cookies, with prices at some bakeries expected to rise between 10 and 20 per cent.

It has been given that there has been a growing demand for crude oil for turning into refined petroleum (increase in demand), along with a decline in its production (fall in supply). It implies that both an increase in demand and a decrease in supply is responsible for the price rise.
