Maybe your plantation are not set as local consumption. If it,s the case then everything goes to exportation and nothing left to eat.

Maybe you don't have enough manpower to fill all your plantations, if you only have 50 populations.

Also if you have supermarket then you can always import food so you make sure to have enough to feed your population.

This may be caused by many differents reasons, so unless you give more details about your situation, I can only speculate like this over and over.

Yeah if you have more open job positions than peoples to fill it, you have to give better job condition by increasng salary of the job you want them to fill. Note that if a job require some education to fill, then people with that education level will favorise that job since it usually meanbetter salary and better job condition. In other word, no one want to work in a plantation if they can find a better job.

Over building can be dangerous for that, make sure to build new job position when you are certain that you will have the man power to fill it, otherwise you can end up with that kind of problems.

Aslo grocery/supermarket only store food you actually produce or if you import some, if you don't produce any food or enough food to have surplus, then your grocery still empty.

And make sure you have enough teamsters to transport food to your groceries.

Last time I played was 6 months after release i believe and I stopped playing this game because I noticed there is a population cap, once you hit it, building more of anything will cause the workers you have to be spread so thinly that your population starves to death.

The game only really supports small towns.
