I'm not against "overproduction". For farmers in some countries, it may be beneficial to produce more than can be consumed domestically. Comparative advantage ftw.

my point is that farmers in other countries will only overproduce if they are given subsidies or something, because by market forces only they wouldn't.

If by "or something" you mean payment by a willing buyer somewhere else, sure.

Do you know what comparative advantage means?
