The authority of restraining of exporting any goods and interference into the
economy of Ottoman State had been limited with the 1838 Baltalimanı Trade
Agreement. However, during the era of the Crimean War, The Ottoman Empire,
had restrained the export of grains because of incrase in consumption and
insufficient harvest in some regions of the State between the years 1853– 1854.
The largest reaction to that restrain came from England and France. As far as there
was shortage of grain France, England, and Austria, there was greater need for
Ottoman Grain products than ever before. The British Ambassador, declared that
restrain on the export of grains of Ottoman State was against the 1838 Baltalimanı
Trade Agreement. The French Ambassador, thought that even the there was
abundancy in grain harvest, Ottoman State’s restraining the export was just cruelty.
The both ambassadors of France and England informed by a report about what to
be done even though there was obligation to obey the law about restraining. I tried
to study the reply of the Ottoman State to this and how it continued the application
of that restrain on grains export.
