control of supply

Control of supply refers to the ability of entities—such as governments, companies, or organizations—to influence the amount of goods or services available in the market. This can be achieved through production decisions, regulations, or policies, aiming to stabilize prices, ensure availability, or meet specific economic goals. Effective supply control helps prevent shortages or surpluses, maintaining a balanced market environment. It is a key aspect of economic management, where controlling supply interacts with demand to influence overall market stability and pricing.
