These measures consist in withdrawals of produce for free distribution of fruit and vegetables to charitable organisations and withdrawals of products for other purposes (such as animal feed, composting, distillation), as well as the so called 'non-harvesting' and ' green harvesting' measures.
Meetmed seisnevad nende toodete väljavõtmises vabaturukaubandusest ja tasuta jaotamises heategevusorganisatsioonidele, samuti toodete eemaldamises, et kasutada neid muuks otstarbeks (loomasöödaks, komposteerimiseks, alkohoolsete jookide tootmiseks); samuti kohaldatakse koristamata jätmise ja toorelt koristamise meetmeid.
