Perishable goods have inelastic demand because consumers need them quickly and are less sensitive to price changes; they often require immediate purchase due to their limited shelf life. Similarly, the supply of perishable goods is inelastic because producers cannot easily adjust production levels in response to price changes; once harvested, these goods must be sold quickly, and any excess cannot be stored for long periods. This combination leads to relatively stable prices despite fluctuations in demand and supply.
