At the end of the 18th century, the Kingdom of Aragon suffered a cereal shortage. The supply decreased, and the Audiencia of Aragon prohibited the export of grain to cities such as Lérida, Tárrega and Balaguer. As a result, the price of bread rose in these territories, forcing the corregidor of Lleida to ask the Council of Castile to allow the little grain that remained to be extracted. The fin-de-siècle crises joined the administrative borders, hindering the distribution of basic resources. The document, dated 1797, refers to this phenomenon and to the inclement weather that reduced the harvest in March due to snow and ice.
