Spin this the other way and you can cash in on the Dutch Tulip Bubble. You can probably even sell some of their tulips outworld. Mostly though you take the local money you get and spend it on other trade goods.

Perhaps encouraging production of perennial favorites like coffee, tea and chocolate. You can trade those lots of places even after you somehow manage to saturate the Homeline market. You can call the outworld stuff "artisanally made" and "intriguing heirloom cultivars" and fancy things like that too.
