Namen takšnega upravljanja trga je stabilizacija trgov (v smislu ponujene in kupljene količine ter cene, po kateri potekajo transakcije), s čimer se na eni strani zagotovi, da kmetje ne trpijo posledic izjemno nizkih cen, na drugi strani pa so potrošniki vedno oskrbljeni s hrano po dostopnih cenah.
