Peanut crops have been destroyed by fungus. Consumers are substituting almond butter for peanut butter because they perceive it to be a healthier option. The prices of both peanut butter and almond butter are rising. Why? Since peanuts were destroyed by fungus this will lead to a decrease in the supply of peanuts used to make peanut butter. A decrease in supply will lead to an increase in the price of peanut butter. Almond butter is being used as a substitute for peanut butter because it is healthier. This will increase demand which will increase the price. Am I in the right ballpark here as to why both prices increased? A graph will really help me grasp how to solve this. Thank youarrow_forward
