Answer:
Explanation:
Food surpluses encouraged local, and long-distance trade because an amount you could buy for a "low price" (Buying in bulk and having to spend a limited amount, basically.)
They offered huge quantities of food than actually needed. Agricultural produce of a quantity of food grown by an actual nation, needs bulk in food in order to prosper in certain aspects. Why people bought locally, and food surpluses came up with long-distance trade, would be because food purchases, and stored by a governmental program, guaranteed farmers a specific price for certain crops they bought.
Hope this made sense.
