You give slaves minimal to survive and work, and with maximizing profit you import more food. Or send those who were previously working those jobs to smuggle/work on our ships/pirate.
Or you use robots to do the digging because they are actually cheaper in terms of the one resource you have a very limited amount of ie food, which really does then allow you to maximise your profits.
The problem with this entire argument is that everyone can come up with spurious reasons to do stuff, which makes it all a bit pointless doesn't it?
