Rice farmers in Egypt typically burn their rice husks
(agricultural waste) in the fields at the end of the growing
season. This generates substantial pollution—Cairo, Egypt, was
recently ranked the worst city in the world by the World Bank for
pollution by particulates (the tiny fragments of soot and dust most
damaging to human lungs).

Show, using a supply-and-demand graph, how farmers’
decisions to supply rice, and the costs they face, differ from the
costs that society faces.




Discuss the costs of rice farming to society and
farmers, the loss to society, and what the optimal quantity of rice
in Egypt would be.
