Question:

In September 2015, several acres of sugar crop was damaged due to a faltering monsoon in India, the world’s second-biggest producer of sugar. Farmers in certain states were forced to use damaged crops as cattle feed.

Explain the effect such a drought has on the following:

a. Price of sugar

b. Marginal product of sugar cane cutters

c. Demand for sugar cane cutters
