Due to adverse weather conditions and a significant number of tomato farmers transitioning to more lucrative avocado farming, global tomato production has been significantly lower than the demand for the past two years. Consequently, tomatoes are in short supply, leading to a dramatic increase in their prices, which have now reached the same level as avocados. Some analysts have concluded that the surge in tomato prices indicates that the farmers who switched to avocados are no better off than if they had continued growing tomatoes; however, this conclusion is flawed because it can be inferred that(A) those farmers could not have predicted how high the price of tomatoes would rise(B) the transition costs from tomatoes to avocados are considerable(C) the current low supply of tomatoes would not be as severe if those farmers had not made the switch(D) avocado crops are equally vulnerable to adverse weather as tomato crops(E) as more farmers shift to avocado cultivation, the supply of avocados will increase and their prices will drop significantly.
