Industrial production would far exceed the needs of people in the target markets. Supply chains are also highly streamlined. Some amazon boxes would go to dump unopened, after delivering to customer.
The state of perishable goods is much worse. A lot is dumped in food and short shelf-life items. Nothing can be done here. This is not even a brand issue.
Do not give license to industrial production or imports that far exceeds the needs of people in that region.

That’s already regulated in multiple countries
That's interesting. Mind telling how regulation would stop dumping of expired or unconsumed food and other stuff?

Supermarkets are forced to discount soon-to-expire items which go into "bargain bins".
