3. Rav explains the prohibition of storing too much fruit.

A BIT MORE
1. Withholding a certain fruit from the market lowers the supply and drives up the price, enabling the suppliers to make a lot of money when they slowly release the fruit to the market.
2. Regarding all of them, the verse states that Hashem swears that He will never forget their evil deeds.
3. He explains that a person does not transgress if he stores fruit that he grows in his own fields. The prohibition is when he buys a lot of this fruit that is available from other merchants and stores it until the price goes up.
4. It is permissible to store fruit in Eretz Yisrael for the three years before Shemitah, during Shemitah, and after Shemitah.
5. Rebbi Yehudah ben Beseirah allows one to take out wine, as less wine means less of the lightheaded behavior associated with wine.
