yes, there should be no excess that needs to be disposed. if you produce excess you should reduce production.

[jandrewrogers]

A state of "excess production" can only be determined long after production parameters have already been committed to. Yields, logistics costs, and market capacity aren't knowable ahead of time.

[em-bee]

sure, but the market consequence to overproduction is that the price goes down. if you are not allowed to destroy products just to keep the price up then you will self correct in time.

So should they ask the trees to fruit less, or cut them down knowing they can't get them back online for 10 years?

[em-bee]

they should sell the fruits. and if can't sell all the fruit then yes, eventually they will need to reduce production.

Notably, US healthcare is run with this mindset. Perfect planning for exactly the capacity that we need.

Works "great".

sorry, i wasn't clear. i am specifically talking about excess that needs to be destroyed in order to keep prices up. meaning, artificially reducing the supply by creating waste.
