It showed that the richest Harappan citizens had excess food to trade or sell.

Explanation:

The granaries of Harappa, located on Mound F are brick structures constructed on large brick foundations. Six rooms aligned in two rows, which tend to be the base structure and are built along a central corridor that is about 7 meters wide and partially paved with baked bricks. It is believed that these granaries were used by rich Harappan citizens and thus reflects the occupation of excess food to trade.
