This paper discusses market equilibrium associated with the supply and demand of sugar cane in Brazil. The author will discuss the law of supply and demand with the detriments of demand and supply‚ describe efficient markets theory‚ and explain surplus and shortage.

2. THEORY OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY: THEORY OF DEMAND: Demand refers to the quantity of a product that consumers are willing and able to buy at a particular price and over a given period of time. The law of demand states that more is bought at a lower price than at a higher price. In other words‚ the law of demand postulates an inverse relationship between the price and quantity demanded of a commodity‚ all other factors affecting demand remain constant (ceteris paribus). A market demand curve

MARKET EQUILIBRIUM Consumers and producers react differently to price changes. Higher prices tend to reduce demand while encouraging supply‚ and lower prices increase demand while discouraging supply. Market equilibrium in this case refers market state where the supply in the market is equal to the demand in the market. Economic theory suggests that‚ in a free market there will be a single price which brings demand and supply into balance‚ called equilibrium price. If a market is at equilibrium
