With the great changes in technology, there was rapid urbanization and industrialization in Britain along with the population growth in the 18th century. This led to an increase in the demand for agricultural products. This implied that food grains could now be imported at a cheaper price. With the increase in industrialization, people started to receive a higher income which leads to an increase in the consumption of the food. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the exports of food production in Eastern Europe, Russia, and the USA.
