Price floors on some goods are set by Gov. because by doing so it will keep the price of certain goods above its equilibrium price. In other words, gov. sets a price floor to keep a minimum price for some goods. For instance, something that could cost $1 (without gov intervention), ends up costing $3 due to a price floor.
There's usually a LOT of lobbying in congress to set a price floor for a specific good. Once the price floor has been set, there's usually an excess supply of the particular good or goods.
A price floor is the minimum price set by the government where as a price ceiling is the maximum price sellers can charge for a good or service.
A price floor is binding in a market when it is set above the equilibrium price, leading to a surplus of goods. Factors that determine whether a price floor is binding include the level at which the price floor is set, the elasticity of supply and demand for the product, and the presence of substitutes or complements in the market.
A surplus of goods occur
A price floor is a minimum price set by the government above the equilibrium price in a market. This can lead to an excess supply of goods, known as deadweight loss, because the price is higher than what consumers are willing to pay and producers are willing to sell at. This results in inefficiency and reduced overall welfare in the market.
Some goods are sold below their cost price because the government believe that the good is essential, for example, prescriptions from doctors, we need these so the government have a set price of £9 no matter what the prescription is.

A price floor is government imposed limit on how low a price can be charged for a product or service. An example of a price floor in the US are minimum wage laws. The government has set the minimum wage that a company can pay an employee.

Government of Pakistan always set a minimum price level of wheat to support the farmers from disheartening. Means that if the farmer is getting less price for its wheat crop in the open market. He may sell his wheat to government of Pakistan at a high price which set by the government.
The ceiling price (maximum price) is set by the government. It is set below the equilibrium price (because if it were above, there will be a surplus and equilibrium will be stored due to market forces). It is illegal to sell any item above the maximum price. By setting a maximum price, a shortage is created - since quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied. The purpose of maximum price is to ensure that the price of goods is affordable, especially for poorer families. Unfortunately, by setting a maximum price, there is a possibility that a black market will arise since there will be large numbers of unsatisfied and better-off customers who are willing to pay more than the government-set price. The floor price (minimum price) is another price control that the government uses. It is set above the equilibrium price. Because quantity demanded is less than quantity supplied, a surplus is created. These surplus goods are usually stockpiled by the Government. The purpose of a minimum price is to protect producers from receiving low prices for their produce.
If the price of wheat had risen above the price floor set by the U.S. government in 1994, it would indicate that the market price was higher than the minimum price intended to support farmers' incomes. This situation could lead to surplus wheat production, as farmers would be incentivized to produce more due to higher prices. However, since the price floor is intended to prevent prices from falling too low, the government might need to intervene by purchasing excess wheat to maintain market stability. Overall, such a scenario could disrupt the intended effects of the price floor.
Price Floor.
Producers set the price floor when sailing a new good.
Consumers do not set a price ceiling on goods. Only the government can set a price ceiling. However, the consumer perception of a good's value does affect the equilibrium price and quantity demanded. This is the price that the good is sold at and how many of the good is demanded at that price.
