(self-supply is the part that my nation can provide itself with)

Oil: %35 self-supply.
Precious stones: %2 self-supply
Gold: %0 self-supply
Iron: %93 self-supply (%15 is exported)
Coal: No demand in Bredford (All of the coal is exported)
Staple Foods: %116 self-supply. (%13 is exported)
Luxury Foods: %89 self-supply. (%17 is exported)
Uranium: %113 self-supply. (%2 is exported)
Nickel: %15 self-supply.
Zinc: %1 self-supply.
Plutonium: %0 self-supply.
Titanium: %13 self-supply.
Platinum: %5 self-supply.
Natural Gas: %231 self-supply. (%95 is exported)
Silver: %2 self-supply.
Steel: %311 self-supply. (%198 is exported)
Industrial machinery: %189 self-supply. (%71 is exported)

This thread is for:

I. Nations who need any of the resources i currently/can export.

II. Nations who can fulfil my needs for any materials i lack.

Note:

the % exported dosen't mean % from the total production, rather it means % from the self-supply.

Example:

My need for Industrial Machinery is million machines a year (fictive).

My self supply is at %189, meaning i produce %189 of what i need, therefore, 1.89 million machines.

i export %71, which is %71 from my self-supply, 710,000 machines.

Also:

There are situations where even when i don't produce enough to answer my national need, and still export (like the situation of luxury food, or Iron).

This is for one reason. Bredford is free market economy. If some of the private companies decide its more profitable to them to sell Iron which would be needed in Bredford to other countries, they will do it. unless they fiercely patriotic.

I still need to fulfil my national need.

therefore (like Iron) my self-supply is %93 and i export %15, this does not mean i need %7. this means i need %22.

my self-supply is actually what i PRODUCE that CAN be sold inside my nation.

(If you didn't understand yet, export comes out of self-supply)

Alfegos can provide the resources you have pointed out quite adequately.

We currently produce 192% of luxury food, of which near 36% is currently exported.

We also have massive reserves of iron which you are currently tapping into alongside us. We can help accelerate the amount of iron produced, by extending mining operations further west from your current site in the moon mountains.

In exchange for satisfying your mineral needs, we can expect in return natural gas scaling to the amount of resources you take from us. This will be used while slowly us up our nation's gas wells, and start changing to a greener economy.
