Incidentally?

GURPS FAR TRADER (page 16) has this to say about the average value of tonnage being shipped...

"In converting from credits to dtons of trade, the table above assumes that freight is worth, on average, between Cr10,000/dton and Cr50,000/dton."

So, that hopefully answers the question about Agraria and Industria. If Agraria's value is about 5,000 per dton (just for giggles) then it would take between 2 to 10 dTons of Agria product to match 1 Industria Product. Not as bad, but still a pain for the Shippers who somehow have to make ends meet and handle the market's needs.
