that's the same thing.

if you can't throw it away you need to be allowed to sell it.

the point here is sustainable production. the EU is implementing laws around that. if you produce more than what you can sell, then you need to reduce production and stop wasting resources.

It’s not the same thing. He is allowed to give them away and is doing so. If Mora is in breach of contract, maybe a better remedy for the distributor would be monetary damages but that is not obvious.

There’s an interesting question of if the distributor misrepresented the deal to Mora as he claims, but from the summary it appears nothing related to that is recorded that the court finds legally relevant.

It's really not. Exhibit A: this farmer giving away his nectarines. Hell, maybe he can write off the loss as a donation.

seems like that would be double dipping and likely prohibited. They already get to write off the entire cost of prouction and carry losses forward 7 years IIRC.
