Yes, this storefront sells food only, and will gladly Export whatever you require. The following is currently in stock: (All Prices in USD, but will be translated to Imperial Credits on arrival. The prices displayed are for minimum contracts.)

MEATS

http://www.discoverypackaging.com/Image%20Feed/Grilled%20Meat-high%20res.jpg
Bantha Meat/Steak:

A delicious and easy-to-cut meat, It can be used in many remedies... Bantha Steaks, Kebabs, Burgers, on a stick... It is truly wonderful. Thanks to Imperial treatment, in cases of emergency it can be eaten raw, and this means it is good for Military ration packs, giving the trooper a meat addition to their diet.

Price: $800 Million per years contract (Cheap considering the ammount that will be hauled to you.)

Tydanian Sand Slug

Don't be fooled by their ugly appearence, they are delicious. Eaten raw or cooked in stew, they are high in nutrition and high in protein, a good energy booster for the busy man on the go. Born on Tydus Prime, they are raised in special clean farms, before being processed as food.

Price: $500 Million Per years contract.

Sky Sardis

The Main delecacy of Arcadia, an Imperal colony, these wonderous flying fish are absoloutely delicious, tasting better than the greatest Salmon, more succlent than the tastiest Haddock. Gutted and fried, these are wonderful with a plate of Tydanian Chiped potatoes. Caught in their thousands, their numbers are greater than the population of Earth combined. Thus they are a plentiful bounty, making billions in sales on Arcadia itself. Export has now begun, so the rest of the galaxy may taste such goodness.

Price: $1.5 Billion for a 5 year contract.

Vegetables

Pickled Arcadian Turnip

Grown all over Arcadia, Vegetables are a nessesary source of food for sailing trips, as without vegetables, scurvy can occur, gurenteeing the death of you and your crew. Pickled in the finest Liquoa Vinegar, these tase great as a side to Sky Sardis. Be sure to have a healthy supply of vegetables before you go sailing.

Price: $200 Million Per years contract.

Khale and other spices

Taken from Tydus Prime, Khale is one of the most powerful spices known to man. Almost 7 times hotter than a Red Chilli, only a few men have ever eaten one and not reached for water. As for the other spices, use them to really liven up dishes, giving them that oriental taste.

Price: $100 Million per years contract.

Beverages

Liquoa

Questionably the best Alchahol in the known universe. Made with Arcadian Moonstones and Liquot Berries, they are powerful and sweet, with a delightful aftertaste. Red Liquoa is spicy, made with Red moon stones, while Green Liquoa is sweet, and makes the drinker feel full of energy. There are 6 flavours, each stranger than the last. It's up to you to import and taste perfection!

Price: $12 Billion for a 8 Year contract.

http://www.dianasdesserts.com/news/news2004-02/Decadent-Hot-Chocolate.jpg
Talos Chocolate Surprise

Made with Cocoa beans from Talos III, it is truly a decadent drink, with such powerful flavours it almost overwhelms the senses. Utterly delicious, it is served topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles, for ultimate satisfaction. The import pack includes bottles of Chocolate powerder, to which you just add milk or hot water. Any form of Dairy cream will make it delicious.

Price: $3 Billion for a 5 Year contract.

Jurin Tea
Brewed within the Empire itself, this tea grows in our massive farming community, is hand picked and dried with a few added chemicals, and creates this pink heaven of a drink. Rich in caffine it is full of rich flavour and invigorates the drinker with happieness. It is nicknamed "Happy Tea" due to it's strange effects, yet it contains no illegal substances. It has been deemed safe for import/export.

Heh... typical. If it's got nothing to do with guns or battleships, no-one's interested. I actually came up with an idea of realistic food trading, and no-one cares. RP'ing isn't all about killing one another you know.

I think it is a great idea. Mabey you need to expand you selections to include MREs and "high class" foods like fish eggs and the like.

Re: Jurin Tea

Would Tannenmille be able to acquire a smaller contract for Jurin tea, say, for 100 people? The Reichsführer wishes to try it with his palatial staff before introducing it to the people of Tannenmille.

"We are confident that our customers will enjoy your lines of spices and beverages. And we also see an oppurtunity to make gobs of money selling them the delicacies they demand. We'll take an eight-year contract for khale ($800 million), an eight-year liquoa contract ($12 billion), an eight-year Talos Chocolate Surprise contract ($4.8 billion), and an eight-year Jurin Tea contract ($5.6 billion).

Payment of $23.2 billion USD will be wired to the TIE Corporation's various executive slush funds upon confirmation of the order. You do have executive slush funds, correct?

Please deliver to our distribution centers on the White Diamond system."

How about if I supply you with a 2 years contract? For 1.4 Billion, you will have all the tea you require for 2 years. Renewed contracts will be of similar price, but future orders will be 10% cheaper for existing customers.

Do we have a deal?
