Trade Statistics (Kebir Blue)

I'm having a go at getting some points on the Trade Statistics page. Any tips or methods for using Local and Common markets. I'd assumed it was straight forward, but it seems a little convoluted so far. Do I need to reserve some stock, then offer it on the Local Market? There is some pretty good advise pages hidden in here, like Wildeyes one. Is there one I should be looking for on this subject?

Dex.

In its simplest form build a state corp that produces something your country uses every month, electric, services, maintenance then select the review contracts in the corp page and contract full production to your country

This ensures you get the item often and for any price you set, fair enough your paying the workers but it keep them off the social security/unemployed indexes

Be sure to use the Common market/Accept... and the common market/Offer.. Screens to do your contracting. This will save a lot of labor, and is straight forward--at least it seems that way to me now. If you try it and have questions, repost and I (or someone else can be more descriptive.
