Unstable farmer incomes: Sharp price falls can push farmers into poverty or force them out of production, even if food is still needed.

Underproduction or overproduction: High prices encourage overproduction later, while low prices discourage production, causing cycles of shortages and surpluses.

Farmers then overproduce the following season to take advantage of high prices, leading to a surplus and a price crash. This cycle of extreme price swings can harm both farmers’ incomes and consumers’ access to affordable food, causing market failure.
