Demand is from consumers. Hence WHO are to reduce it. How it is possible?

Anyone, please clarify.

There is no statement that total demand is bigger than total production, so why need import?

There is no statement that demand increase is unproductive so why reduce demand instead of increase production?

So, neither I nor II are strong.
