An extended period of bad weather may cause a food crop to rot in the fields. This could mean that a crop, if over a large area, would become a scarcity locally. If a crop is scarce, the price in the shop is likely to rise. The other extreme is when a glut means the price will drop. Nowadays, with export and import of food produce from many foreign counties, scarcity of a single item has less effect.
