When prices are set above equilibrium, it means more suppliers or producers will be willing to sell their goods because of the high prices. This will invariably lead to a surplus of goods in the market resulting in excess supply.
This is usually done to protect and encourage production, as producers will be willing to produce and supply to the markets in large quantities when the price is high.
