The Thessalian Grain Exchange

ths_thessalian_grain_exchange_advance

The transformation of the Thessalian plains into a modernized agricultural breadbasket will be completed through the establishment of the Thessalian Grain Exchange. Moving away from medieval sharecropping, the state will encourage the use of the most modern techniques, while the Exchange will standardize prices and quality for the international market. This concentration of the grain trade will allow Thessaly to wield its food surplus as a diplomatic tool, supplying the hungry armies of Europe during conflicts in return for political concessions and modern technology. The wealth generated by these exports will fund infrastructure that will link the mountain mines directly to the coastal ports, binding the whole country into a single economy.
