In both

Explanation:

Assuming a market free of protectionist tariffs, the maize market is determined by the interaction between supply and demand, with price adjustments as its vector. In situations of excess demand, price increases and supply increases. In situations of oversupply, the price falls, raising demand. This is what the two statements explain. In the first it is said that there is excess supply or demand in the corn market. In the second it is said that price changes as a function of changes in supply and demand. In both cases, the simple operation of the law of supply and demand is narrated.
