&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lockdown has led to demand destruction similar to demonetisation even for commodities such as potato and milk that were till recently in short supply&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While there is debate on how much the lockdown has helped in &amp;ldquo;flattening the Covid-19 curve&amp;rdquo;, one thing is clear: It has led to a flattening of prices through a &amp;ldquo;leftward shift in the demand curve&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The best way to illustrate this is through two agricultural commodities &amp;mdash; potato and milk &amp;mdash; that were experiencing significant production shortfalls. In ordinary circumstances, it would have resulted in prices shooting up at this time. Instead, they have remained flat or even collapsed, thanks to the demand destruction from lockdown.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fewer takers for potato&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Take potatoes, of which cold stores across India have stocked only an estimated 36 crore bags (of 50 kg each) from the main rabi (winter-spring) crop harvested in February-March. This was as against 48 crore in 2019, 46 crore in 2018 and the record 57 crore bags of the 2017 post-demonetisation crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lockdown has led to demand destruction similar to demonetisation even for commodities such as potato and milk that were till recently in short supply&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While there is debate on how much the lockdown has helped in &amp;ldquo;flattening the Covid-19 curve&amp;rdquo;, one thing is clear: It has led to a flattening of prices through a &amp;ldquo;leftward shift in the demand curve&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The best way to illustrate this is through two agricultural commodities &amp;mdash; potato and milk &amp;mdash; that were experiencing significant production shortfalls. In ordinary circumstances, it would have resulted in prices shooting up at this time. Instead, they have remained flat or even collapsed, thanks to the demand destruction from lockdown.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fewer takers for potato&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Take potatoes, of which cold stores across India have stocked only an estimated 36 crore bags (of 50 kg each) from the main rabi (winter-spring) crop harvested in February-March.

How Covid has flattened prices, shifted demand curve for agri-commodities -Harish Damodaran

-The Indian Express Lockdown has led to demand destruction similar to demonetisation even for commodities such as potato and milk that were till recently in short supply While there is debate on how much the lockdown has helped in “flattening the Covid-19 curve”, one thing is clear: It has led to a flattening of prices through a “leftward shift in the demand curve”. The best way to illustrate this is through two agricultural commodities — potato and milk — that were experiencing significant production shortfalls. In ordinary circumstances, it would have resulted in prices shooting up at this time. Instead, they have remained flat or even collapsed, thanks to the demand destruction from lockdown. Fewer takers for potato Take potatoes, of which cold stores across India have stocked only an estimated 36 crore bags (of 50 kg each) from the main rabi (winter-spring) crop harvested in February-March. This was as against 48 crore in 2019, 46 crore in 2018 and the record 57 crore bags of the 2017 post-demonetisation crop. Please click here to read more.
