What happens when you can it up? Picky spoiled Americans think they're too good for preserved foods and only buy "fresh". This could all be bad planning, and whether you have more apples, less apples does not matter until the market responds with it.
Why did you say apples? Not avocados or olives? Why didn't you say whale blubber? Because you know not all fruits and produce are equal to the market. Having more apples usually beats having less (burning and burying sure beats planting them), but it does not automatically mean each apple retains its value as before taxes. Unless there's a shortage of apples, don't you think having double the amount of apples today will decrease its value by close to a half? How is that "real wealth"?
You may have noticed, certain industries are purging their products because it's no longer in demand.
