Countries have exported food at least since Roman times. Much of the ancient Mediterranean shipping was transporting food.
Hunger was still a constant specter, though.
Consider the rise in height in Americans after this achievement. This doesn't happen without plenty of food available all the time.
I'm old now. It wasn't until a couple years ago that I EVER went 24 hours without food (I was experimenting with fasting). Historically speaking, that is incredible.
