Amethyst & aquamarine are easy enough to provide for trade, as there is little use for the amounts gained from mining away uninhabited/dead planets. Ruthenium is a bit more in demand for industry & ship-building, so less is available to trade. The crops are also very easy to provide the seeds for, even on underwhelming years there is a sufficient surplus of seeds for us to trade 4-8% of our yields.
The crops are highly drought-resistant, flooding resistant (3 weeks submerged is all that can be guaranteed... Beyond that? Untested.), frost-resistant, as well as having respectable yields & a shorter growth cycle. Best achieved was 267 bushels per acre (Average is closer to 210.), with a total food yield of almost 6 tons of white flour per acre. 7.5 if used whole. (Like rice is cooked for instance, just boiled or steamed whole.) Total growth time is approx. 2 months.
Are these acceptable offers for spice & any other goods you have for trade?
