If an agricultural technology for producing wheat improves, and at the same time, the price of rice decreases, then the supply of wheat will increase and shift to the right, the demand will decrease and shift to the left, as a result the market equilibrium price will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity may either increase or decrease depending on the elasticity of demand and supply.
