The Horizon England is actually smaller than the real life country, and they don't have access to a full size ocean. So food resource is tight. This is why nearly every spare piece of land is used to grow food.
The issue here is that once the war starts, food production and importation would be hampered. So they want to stock up properly in case they got into a siege situation.
They also KNOW that Musashi is sitting on meat that's soon to expire, and was hoping to get the meat off their hands at a discount. But in the end negotiations means that Musashi managed to make a profit. This can't be helped; England need the meat more badly than Musashi is wanting to sell.
