Explanation:

In an economic context, when there is a shortage of a resource (wheat in this case), having instant access to information helps in deciding how to distribute the available resources. Allocating resources is about making decisions on how to use scarce resources effectively. Purchasing goods is not relevant as the government is restricting sales outside the country and limiting needs is not directly related to the role of information here. The key role of information is in resource - allocation.

Answer:

allocate resources
