Is this accurate?

Max mil tech Republic/Fascism/Dictatorship sells food on private market for $35 or can sell same food on public for $37

$37 on public gives net return of $34.78 (or less if you are at a negative for each turn played). So if you are a Rep/Fasc/Dict farmer selling on the public market for $37 or less you are throwing away money?

Is this correct?

But keep in mind, if your mil tech is less then maxed (less then 700k ish on a 20k acre country) then sure you cant sell in private for near as much, but you have to take into account the cost of 700k mil tech, even at 2500 each, that is a 1.75bil straight up cost, which you do not need if you are selling on pub, so the .22$ you lose is really irrelevant, the main concern is how much military are you buying off of private market, and what are the prices compared to market prices.

Getting say 600k ish mil tech will cost you about 1% more military costs, but your relative food sell price is 3% higher.

As a general rule it is a safe bet to max mil tech if you have over 300mil food saved up.

If you have less then 200mil, maxing it is not your most efficient strategy.

Mil Tech sells for around 2k or less per unit throughout the set and also reduces the cost of owning military, so unless you run without military during the set would it not pay off to max your tech regardless of the price of food?

Depends, then you have to make a ratio of Mil tech to total military expenses. It always pays off to have some mil tech, but doesnt always pay off to max it (Needs to be like 100% maxed to get the highest food price).

And sure if sells for 2k ish a unit now, but that is only recent, it was higher before. And I guarantee you, that if you bought enough mil tech on all your countries at once, the price will double :P

The amount of money it saves on military expenses is small compared to the amount it saves on military purchases at the end of the set, unless you get the tech very early on or start stockpiling very late (or carry an extremely large military). If you're spending 10+ billion cash on your private market when dropping stockpile, the sum of your military expenses throughout the set would need to have been over 10 billion for it to save you as much in military expenses.

Every country a person has that has any stockpile should get military tech. And if they are going reseller, they should definitely have military tech.

Would it even be worth it to be a reseller without max mil tech?

It would not be worth the cost of switching your buildings over to military bases unless you also had enough cash after the switch that you would be buying enough military off your private market that having military tech would be worth it.

That's assuming that your country is sufficiently large. For countries at small sizes like 2k acres, where the building costs are extremely tiny, MBR can be worth it without military tech, but at reasonable late-set sizes, military tech will be worth it.
