You can visit the ‘Market’ building even before you’ve worked your land. This might be useful to figure out what crop you’d like to grow, or which buyer interests you most.

If you want to visit the market without having harvested first:

  • Click on the ‘Market’ Building.
  • Click on the yellow ‘Find buyer’ button down below.
  • On the left-hand side, the blue panel is empty. Here your crop will show up, once you have harvested.
  • On the right-hand side, a number of people are shown. Click on one of them to see their price ranges (based on the quality of the crop).

If you want to visit the market after having harvested:

  • Click on the ‘Market’ building.
  • Click on the yellow ‘Find buyer’ button down below.
  • On the left-hand side, first select which commodity you want to sell.
  • Moving down, select the desired quantity you wish to sell.
  • Moving down, select the price per unit you’d wish. Moving the slider will show you that buyers on the right-hand side appear and disappear. This means that some buyers are not interested in your proposition. Adjust the price and find the right balance.
  • (Moving down, you can ignore the ‘quality’ line.)
  • And lastly, select a transport option.
  • When you have followed these steps, click on one of the remaining buyers for an overview of your proposed deal.
  • If you are happy with the summary, press the yellow ‘Sell’ button in the bottom-right corner to complete the transaction.
