If she could magically generate stuff that actually filled you while also having mind-mojo, and starving people are more likely to accept it? Or does her stuff actually not come with all the proper nutrients - it'll fill your belly and magic you up, but for longterm sustenance you still need more?

But I do like the idea that some Narnians sold out just to get food and goods.

Of course, the fact that Archenland and Calormen were obviously outside the magic winter (HHB) is part of an answer.

I don't think the Witch would have maintained contact with Archenland at all - how could she be sure that "Adam's Flesh and Adam's Bone" wouldn't have originated from Archenland?
Probably by making sure the frontier was well guarded and men from Archenland only came to frontier, or even sending dwarves off as traders on in to the palace where King Lune was going to reign and had started to reign before the Witch fell?

I wonder what he thought about selling food to Narnia?

Or trade, with Archenland, Calormen, or both might have gone through Lone Islanders' ships.
On the other hand, I think she might have had trade of some sort with the Calormens. Not a very prominent one, but I wonder what she thought about their spices and culture.
Probably she kept some for personal use, while making other trade the staple of her then subjects (de facto if not de jure). I mean, the fare Tumnus gave Lucy was, as we know from HHB not Calormene staple.

As to what she thought of their culture, I have already wondered if she wasn't adoring Tash the demon (and setting up the man Tash the ancestor). And if she hadn't been doing so since Charn. Probably Charn was making her fond of Calormen, even if she for some reason could not reign there.

I also wondering if there was any trade at all - Archenland seems unlikely, Calormene seems to have stayed out of it, but perhaps island nations and/or the Lone Islands were also involved?
I am not sure Archenland was totally unlikely if there was trade.

Lone Islands may have been under her rule but not under the winter curse - and she might have taken monopoly on the trade. A bit like Sauron fed Mordor from Rhûn.
I've read a couple of fics about possibilities of other places having treaties with the witch, and at least one author who had an idea that the Lone Islands may have traded so as not to peeve a powerful enchantress, but quietly snuck inconvenient tariff laws into their local legal codes against Narnian ships as a form of protest.
Links please?

Then I started thinking, maybe this was a pattern for her. She was ruling in a land where she had made an eternal (ish) Winter. Where did the Narnians get food? There are some things which seem to have stayed as viable food-sources unexpectedly - the river by Beaversdam had somehow stayed viable for fishing after all this time, for example, so perhaps there are some other food-sources left locally - and some of our lovely fanfiction authors speculate that there was smuggling from Archenland. But we're still talking about a whole nation that needs feeding, in the scarcest time of year. For some creatures it could have looked like a choice between selling out and starving. And then once she had you in her power, she could make life look very good for you by getting you whatever luxury goods you missed most, or had heard about from before the war from your parents.
