She's gonna make sweet potatoes popular among nobles. As a result the demand would increase along with the prices. Then poor people can't enjoy it anymore. Why can't she just let poor people have this one thing?

    She wants to introduce new things to people (nobles really), she doesn't care about the economic backlash against the poor people because the author doesn't focus on them.
    The author wants to focus on this lady trying to get all the nobles who previously ridiculed her to be her friend.

    Based on the author's previous use of the poor, you won't see them in other scenes unless it helps boost her tea business.

    True but it is mot like there are that many nobles.

    Plus an increase in prices means that it would be quite beneficial to producers. If we were to be optimistic, this means the poor who used to grow potatoes will find a newer market to move into and gain a sustainable income selling potatoes for nobles.
    .the expensive products would be on the pastries and sweets from triple sweets. Those nobles will probably order from her stores and she can help push forward the market for potatoes and help them all out.

    Unless an opportunist decides to take this for granted and develop a potato plantation. But potatoes wouldn't be that expensive considering how easy it is to grow(based on my experience of owning some varieties of potatoes in the back of my house). The poor wouldn't be affected to much by this because I believe they would have this planted in their house as it is easy to grow and can substitute other meals when they are extremely poor or starving.

    I don't think it's that bad. On another perspective, since chloe will introduce a good tea wirh sweet potatoes, then the demand will increase so is the price. Since most of the people are farmers, then they can benefit on it alot and can produce more sweet potatoes the gain more profit right.
