The Answer: Profit
Why not add a bonus system for locally producted foods. A fresh food bonus.
Food companies selling in the local market receive a 3-5% surcharge for freshness. |

I find it silly to see the major players in the game with countries void of any food companies. |

What I'm driving at here is getting countries to have a wide variety of products.
....and they are profitable |

I have a few food products, (chocolate, vegetables, fruit, other food, cheese, meat, fish). Other food is quite profitable, the others are only modestly profitable, but provide employment for a lot of LLW,s that otherwise might be social security. The pop in my three countries are slightly over 100 M and one of each is more than sufficient to meet needs (excepting other foods). |

I own very few of these corps. I build these if I get my pop out of balance and I lack the high tech people for other corp. When my pop re-balances, I transfer the corp out and build something better.
I don't usually keep them in my empire because my CEO runs my economy and corp pay taxes based on production. Higher productivity corps simply pay off better. |

Maybe there should be a revolt risk for not maintaining a minimum number of food corps in your country. |

@Maestro: I like your idea about adding risk of revolt. The food corps should serve a more useful function than they presently do. I, too, have used them as Plato & Joe mention, as a "holding tank" for LLWs. While I vigorously defend everyone's right to build whatever type of corp they want, it would be nice to see more relevancy to some of them. |
