Trading is a fundamental way of making money in Caravaneer 2. During the game you will visit many different towns, some of which there are things you can only purchase in that particular town. Buying these things and taking them to a town that needs them or does not have them will result in profit being made. Caravaneer 2 trading works on a Supply and Demand basis. A town will pay more money for cotton to be able to operate their Textile production industry than a town that doesn't need cotton. A town will also sell for less money if they produce more cotton than they need.
Information on what a town produces and consumes can be found in the Statistics tab of a town. More in-depth information on what a town produces and consumes can be found in the Industries tab of a town.
Editors, please look on the Trade Routes Editing Rules page before editing the tables.
Supply Availability[]
- Main article: Supply Availability
Having supplies while trading is essential. Without supplies your people and animals will lose health, lose speed, and then die. Vehicles will not be able to run without fuel, effectively making you immobile. Some towns may not have these essentials so if you were to ever visit these towns but then be forced to leave without enough supplies to reach the next town then your game will pretty much be over. Supply availability will tell you whether a town has the needed supplies, telling you how many days worth of food and water you'll need.

Trade Tips[]
- Don't buy shirts, trousers, or shoes in large bulks. Most towns don't buy them in more than 20 units at true value at a time.
- Travel light, travel fast, travel cheap, travel safe. If you go alone, or only with voluntary companions, you can cut down costs and maximize profits of a travel, if you travel fast and smart, you won't get caught by bandits and your medical expenditures will be 0.
- Buy extra supplies to prevent your caravan from losing health or dying. Extra supplies are needed to be able to make the trip while dealing with things such as miscalculations or having to circle around chasing enemies.
- Lubricant, Alcohol, Fuel, and Cannabis are the big trade goods. Every town buys them for high prices and in large quantities.
- Medicine is a great market good to carry along to sell on the side since it is very light and sells for about 1.3x (varies by region) the original price.
- Always sell market goods at true value. Selling it for any lower will give you less money and it will take longer for that market good to go back to true value in that particular town.
- Always buy your Supplies before you buy your market goods. Doing so will prevent you from making a mistake and having to sell back the goods just so you can have enough water to survive the next trip.
- Always make sure you have enough money to pay your mercenaries before leaving town, if you cannot afford their pay they will leave in the next town and stop carrying stuff immediately often leaving you very slow or stranded.
- Buying alternative trade goods (clothes and food) in addition to big trade goods (Lubricant, fuel, cement, textile, and alcohol) will increase the spread of goods and fill in empty cargo space resulting in maximum profit as well as preventing you from overselling (Selling to the point where the price starts to decrease).
- The purchase of Industries can expand trade routes or create new ones.
- If a Town cannot afford to pay for all of your goods, either buy some of their goods to balance the price or reduce the number of items being sold. That way, you avoid making a loss or lowering profits.
