Winter Clothing:
Due to the ecent events in Europe about 2/3rds of the total armies are in and around cold climates without adaquate protection against the cold. So Denmark will begin the Exportation of 50,000 Winter Coats with 10,000 Heavy Duty "Mummy Bags". This will hopefully be completed in four months from Feburary, next month. The facilities will be near and in Odense with an hopefull profit of 950,000 Krones by July.

Artillery Ammunition Factorys:
With almost all major forces in a deadlock without any ammunition for high calibar guns Denmark has decided to ease itself into making ammunition. This will hopefully be ended by Feb. of next year with a gross total income of 1.3 Million Krones by this time next year and ever increasing.

Farming Expansion
Due to the fact that an increase of food ,especially Wheat, in the countries fielding large armies need more food. So there will be a 50% temporary boost in farming by lowering the taxes on Ag industry by .05 % and an increase in tariffs in general by 8%.

OOC: All of the above is "Until Mods say so".

The Farming increase and winter clothing export projects are now complete and will continue to expand as the demand reaches new heights in the war and for the nations of Eastern and Western Europe.
These products will be avaliable in packets of 100 (200$) winter great coats and 100 (100$) mummy bags. That wil also be accompined by heavy duty socks, shirts ect ect....
The food-stuffs shall be in 1 ton increaments for 100,000$ and delivery will be delivered within reason, A.K.A. None of "Just send to the the close close area of Cyprus and I want 100,000 tons, sadly the Denmark fleet and/or rail system can do such a big delivery.

OOC: Nice work Denmark, trying to cash in on the war then eh? I'm sure you'll get plenty of business!

Your costs seem to be mostly OK, I checked the value of a British pound in 1906 to todays money and it comes to £65.73, and with an historic 1906 exchange rate of around $3 to the £1 comes to these values in modern money:

£21.91 ($40.10) per greatcoat
£11.00 ($20.05) per bag
£1,100,000 ($2,005,000) per ton of food

The last one is a little expensive though, you might want to adjust that slightly. Food isn't really expensive a product anyway for example wheat normally sells at around $150-300 per ton in modern terms, so 1 ton in 1906 would be around $3.74-7.49 per ton. So if you add production and processing costs onto that you get around $15-20 (modern $450-800)per ton, adding extra of course to account for extra war demand and transport to get around $20-30 (modern $800-900). Doesn't sound a lot but money has really devalued since the start of the 20th century.

Unless of course the values were already in modern terms anyway and that makes the above totally irrelevent (but still very expensive for food).

Sorry to cause a fuss but I just thought that your food prices were quite high (even accounting for increased demand due to the war).

OOC: Thank you, I really had no clue for food since I am really not interested in food and farming so maybe I overpriced it.... Thanks for catching that since I really don't get the price of food except at the Grocery Store and I decided not to go off of those numbers.

IC:
Due to independent consultants consulted by Denmark the price of foodstuffs have gone down to 28$.
Denmark's artillery production is up and going for all calibars of artillery. The most to be bought is in the lower calibars while the lower amount able to be bought is in the higher calibars.

OOC: I didn't know anything much about food either, took a lot of research to try to find contemporary prices. But anyway, what I wouldn't do for this RP...

Cool now that Denmark's independent food consultant has been doing the job now will be layed off after this little issue. Anyhow, thanks for helping me with this for Denmark's anything is nowwhere to be found including a reasonable exportation figure or something anywhere near.
IC:
Denmark's building docks are half-way done (1 more year) to go before sumbarines and 2-4 ton puller merchant ships can be sold and made for Denmark and any countries interested.
