Appearantly, while Synth Paste is cheap, it is still profitable to run the business, becase consumption of it is enormous. Idea of squeezing more commodities into one slot is ingenious, but if this isnt possible an alternative needs to be made. It shouldnt be strictly roleplaying commodity, though. It could be like Silver, Cobalt, Pharmaceuticals or Copper. A commodity that is possible to make profits with, while roleplaying.
Synth Foods base would improve quality of life for Synth Foods, giving missions to set up your characters easily and you wouldnt need to shoot 80 LWB NPCs anymore, but its a valid solution considering gameplay feature, I dont think it works well within roleplay basis.

Unless other feedback changes my mind, I'll plan for prices ranging from below 100 at producers to around 800 at end users.
BTW, the Synth Foods official faction might want to sponser a contest for the infocard for Synth Paste...or at least submit the text of an infocard.

"Synth Paste is a revolutionary food product of Synth Foods, Inc. that is cheap and hugely popular in all four Houses. Synthesised in research centres this grey, engineered cellulose plant matter can flourish even in the most harsh and arid environments, where it's grown and later processed into Synth Paste after being flavoured in laboratories artificially. Opinions on this product are divided, however. While Synth Paste is very adaptable and can be grown in huge quantities, surpassing inefficient traditional farming techniques, it is viewed with suspicion by some due to its extraordinary manufacturing process. It has since forced many regular farmers out of business and despite the formation of such opposition movements as the LWB and Farmers Alliance, it remains the most popular food product on the market today."
