Lowering the price of the commodity.

You reduce production to increase the price of a commodity by making it scarcer and driving up demand for it.

Good to know they’re ignorant of economics at OPEC.

OPEC doesn’t have as much power over oil prices as everyone seems to think.

At the end of the day each OPEC member sells every barrel of oil they pump, regardless of quota. They want every *other* member to follow the so-called quotas.
