Yes, when we discuss about the importance of making decisions, we referred to an example where the decision made by the government in another New Zealand in regards to changing chicken farming from being confined in chicken coops to free roaming.  As a result of this decision, a lot of chicken farmers had to redesign their farms and there was a shortage of eggs.  The increase in demand but shortage in supply lead to a spike in egg prices.  This also affected the cost of other business which are using eggs as their raw material e.g. baking, catering and food industries.  As a result for the shortage of egg supply the government limited the sales of eggs to just one dozen per family.
