yes both can be the case....in terms of over supply which arises when commodities are in season, or due to favorable weather conditions, cheap inputs price, etc
Free trade could arise when there is no barrier to export ie no or less export duties, no quota, tariff qouta, relaxed bio-security trade conditions when agricultural commodities are free to enter a market. This could be shown on the demand and supply conditions graphically to determine the impact on price...
kind regards

Yes, both factors in general can contribute to price declines. However, many other factors also affect market prices. To address your question more specifically, can you say what particular types of agricultural products you are considering? For instance, there are specifics affecting prices of tomatoes (vegetables/fruits) that differ from wheat (bulk grain commodities). Also, were you thinking of a specific region or country? In some cases this has a strong impact on pricing. What issues you were looking at that gave rise to the question in the first place?
