Ancient Greece did not have fertile soil, which limited crop production. Because of this, Greeks relied on imported goods from other city-states and countries. They would use their own crops to trade for other highly needed goods. The Greek government did not regulate all goods being traded, except for grain. Wheat trading was controlled and purchased by a special grain buyer called a sitone. Grain fed large, highly-populated city-states and was valuable during droughts. Based on this passage, what positive effect did the government regulation of grain have on Greece?

    Greece was mainly limited to grain/wheat production, which they decided to regulate. By limiting the import of wheat, they protected their own goods but allowed the import of other goods and food.

    By purchasing grain from a special buyer (sitone) they could control the price of grain/wheat. This was especially importing during shortages of food and drought. By buying grain for less money, and trading for export for more expensive amount of money they could protect their production and trade of other goods, as well.
