Sure it makes sense. You got some dairy making way too much milk, how are you going to get it around the world? The fuel spent is worth a lot more than you would get for selling it. Plus it has to be kept cold. That's why all the cheap food we eat is made pretty close by and if you are getting something imported chances are it costs more. And that doesn't even get into what if the place is unstable which would add more costs.

The shit thing is the very people who need food the most are the ones who can't afford it.

So yeah the food is there but getting it where it needs to be is the tricky part.
