In this question, negation technique will help to solve.
In assumption question, write the core of the argument i.e.
PCI (incr),meat consumption(incr), Grain prod(wont incr)---------------> Need to import grain/meat/ both
(assumption to think to link these two)
Now if we negate option E, which will say as:
People in Gortland who increase their consumption of meat will radically decrease their consumption of grain---> then import is not needed and hence the conclusion will become false.
So, ans is E

I was confused with D. But, if govt price controls were in effect, consumption wouldn't have reached world average. We can argue that may be price controls are discretionary as per situation. But that would be assumption as well. Better avoid assumption to an assumption.

Okay.. let's do this
Gortland (some country) has been self-sufficient in both grain and meat. However, since per capita income rose, per capita consumption i.e. as average income per person rose, average consumption of meat per person also rose. To cater to the increased demand for meat, more grains will be required and since that can't happen domestically.. new import of grain or meat or both will be needed.
Author clearly assumes here that the consumption of grain only will also increase or remain constant and since consumption of grain for meat will increase hence, overall an increase will happen. Hence, option E is correct.
