Current Events > if we ever have a trade with aliens, organic products would be our main export

(+) Yeah! (+)

Aside from arts and hentai.

Think about it, with materials common in the universe like metal and most inorganic compound are found everywhere in the universe, any sufficiently advanced civilization would have no problem procuring those from asteroids, empty planets even synthesize them atoms to atoms.

products that came from native earth living beings however could be unique to earth and become a expensive exports.

For example, if our alien friends dont have plants life form with cell walls, wood could be a precious novelty materials used for multiple things. It could be milk, honey, meat products, wool, silk and vice versa.

Interstellar trade would mostly be based on products only available with each planet.

any alien society sophisticated enough to directly interact with us would have the technology to either set up artificial habitats to grow our resources or just synthesize them from scratch.

south park had it right. if non-altruist aliens are interested in us the only friendly way they'd interact with us is by turning us into a reality tv show.
