Detailed Solution

The statement mentioned above is false.
The need for food grains in Britain had increased due to population increase beginning in the late eighteenth century. The demand for agricultural products increased as urban areas and industry flourished, driving up the price of food grains. Additionally, the government limited the import of corn in response to demand from landed groups. Industrialists and city residents forced the removal of the Corn Laws because of the high cost of food. As a result, agriculture in the United Kingdom could not compete with imports. Thousands of men and women were unemployed, and vast tracts of land were suddenly left uncultivated.
The correct statement is that population growth from the late eighteenth century had increased Britain's demand for food grains.
