Hello everyone. I see I can sell supplies to corporations from my country in bulk. Is there a way to sell supplies from my country to corporations every month automatically? |

I know you can contract output to automatically move goods from a corporation to your country.
I do not know of a way to automatically move goods from your country to a corporation. |

Thanks for the reply. I can use the Exchange products with local corporations feature I guess and just sell them 1 year supplies. I believe they sell it at the market price so it will probably be cheaper for the corporations to get the goods from my country. |

There's no right or wrong answer here.
If it's cheaper for your corps, it'll be because your country is soaking up the extra costs.
The other thing to keep in mind is if your country and corp are generally ordering supplies at different levels of quality.
My corps usually order supplies at a quality of about 215.
My countries usually order supplies at a quality of about 120.
If you buy supplies with your nation, and then sell those supplies to a corp, depending on how many products you're selling and how central those supplies are to the final product, it could cause the quality of the final product to decrease. |

Ok thanks for the information. I'm experimenting with 1 corp right now to see if there is any increase/decrease in profit over 1 year. I'm going to buy higher quality products with my country for the materials that corp needs.
Does quality really matter if the demand for the product is so high on the world market? |

You probably would not see any change in only a year. Most of the numbers in this game are running averages that take days to notice.
Quality matters in some way for every product.
Corps have a produced quality based on supply quality and upgrade level. There is a fixed maximum quality that a corp can sell at. For maximum profit corps should be fully upgraded and have an average supply quality around 215.
Countries purchase supplies that the people use and that the country uses. For the people products the higher the quality the less is consumed and the consumption index will go up with no increase in cost.
For country products higher quality has no effect on usage but will cost you a lot more. The only exception to that is Construction.
Quality has no effect on things like roads, schools and forts except it will cost you a lot more to buy. |

Thanks for the reply. So does supply quality set the initial price my corp sells their products for + sale strategy? I'll be going through the information more to learn the mechanics. This is an interesting game so far. |

The price you get for sales = market price X quality factor X selling strategy.
Supply quality only effects produced quality.
It's questionable whether or not selling strat +200 follow quality actually works. There is a maximum market price for products. Once it is reached sales are always market price X quality factor.
A while ago I tested different selling strats and in one instance +200 did work when the market price was close to the base price and there was huge demand for the product. |
