There is interest in having a contest to find out who can get the largest market value out of a FOOD corp in a set amount of time.

The entry fee will be 500b in game cash. Winner takes all. The contest will run for 3 real months to begin next Friday July 4th at 07:00 am Eastern Standard Time (New York time) and ending at 06:59 am on Friday September 5th (same time zone)

Each contestant will be starting from scratch, THE SAME state run FOOD corp. Every player will be allowed to vote on which corp we all will build. The corporation choices to vote on are below.

When the contest begins, each contestant will start from scratch, the chosen FOOD corp in one of their countries, (Preferably your main to avoid any loss due to wars).

This corp will be started as a state owned corp.

It may not be a CEO corp unless it has been IPO'd AFTER it reaches 200b in market value.
Until it reaches

The corporation with the highest MARKET VALUE will be declared the winner and the pot will be the reward. It's a winner take all pot. 2nd place is just the first loser.

Other Food Products has almost 1000 corps making it, so it would already be in many peoples' countries.

Rice with 129 corps and Eggs with 74 corps may not work well since both are close to meeting world demand and adding 10-20 corps for the competition would drive them to be unprofitable.

OFP is a winner corp type, it would kinda defeat the purpose, don't you think def?

and the point of this it making an unprofitable corps profitable...

I guess this is an okay idea I don't think I'll join. In Latveria I do have a vegetable corp that is worth 400 B so it is possible, however my food corps in DOOM Enterprises are less well off :(.

Have fun guys :)

Well I cast my vote for either FISH, MILK, or VEGETABLES.

I don't really care to be honest but would prefer any of those.

i guess my choices would be bread or rice, the point of this contest is to go for something that doesn't "win," and make it a winner...
