In the US they would get a tax write off,it's almost the same as selling it. Over production of commodities like this can be a serious problem, and it would hurt the poor the most. The govt used to buy surplus milk and turn it into cheese to support the price. They ended up damn near filling an underground salt mine with cheese.
I'm no expert on the topic, but it can be pretty complex.
That would be much better,but it would still mess with the supply/ demand/ price.
In the old days farmers would over produce things like this and crash the price, and then they would all/ most go broke and supply would dry up......
It was a mess.
Give some to homeless shelter and food banks. Our church used to donate lots of food.
