The Anatolian Wheat Ban
Many Western merchants have grown rich thanks to our export of Wheat from the fields of Anatolia. Perhaps the time has come to put a stop to this, and secure the supply for our own people — and the army! Instituting a ban on Wheat exports might strengthen our economic position, and give leverage in future deals with foreign merchants.

His reasoning are somewhat uncertain - he may have wanted to undermine his European enemies, or expected concessions from the powerful merchants republics Genoa and Venice.
