1. Resource prices—a rise in resource prices will cause a decrease in supply or leftward shift in supply curve; a decrease in resource prices will cause an increase in supply or rightward shift in the supply curve.

4. Prices of related goods—if price of substitute manufacture good rises, producers might shift production toward the higher priced good which causes decrease in supply of original good.
