Ok, let me put this in stronger numbers:

There are currently over 100,000 bushels stored in the granaries.

There are less than 2,000 bushels in offers on the market. That includes "realm only" and all other limited trades.



Anyone who thinks that the existence of food is the issue and not the fact that existing food is not being sold is IMHO living in a fantasy world.

Is it much of a surprise if only 2% of the food is put on the market, when the yearly surplus is of 1,63%? of what's produced?

Also, what's on the market, at any given time, is not representative anyways. Especially since it's winter right now.
