Raw metal 1,156
Honey 1,156

Metal goods 0,894
Mead 1,156

Cheese 1,156
Pitch 1,156
Pelts 0,578
Meat 0,578
Wine 0,314
Spice 0,314

Basis for the calculation was a town with 60.000 citizens.
I found out, that there is no difference if there are more wealthy and ritch people in a town. The consumption is the same by a 80% poor, 15% wealthy and 5% ritch population and by a 70% poor, 20% wealthy and 10% ritch population.

But the need is a bit dependant on the seasons i think. But i couldn't proof it, because of draugts and pluages in summer while i tested that issue.

If you take in the need for rawmaterials to produce the needed goods you get the following need table:

Wood 3,219
Bricks 2,894
Grain 3,486
Hemp 3,497
Wool 2,312
Raw metal 2,339
Honey 2,312
Salt 2,312
Metal goods 1,183
Mead 1,156
Cloth 1,156
Beer 1,736
Stockfish 1,736
Clothing 0,578
Cheese 1,156
Pitch 1,156
Pelts 0,578
Meat 0,578
Wine 0,314
Spice 0,314

Hein

well, thruth, i ve made research how many workers based on 100citizens each job need. Majority of 20 commodities require 5.78% of working population, only bricks require less than 5% which would be ideal, obviously.
So, with current setup of how many goods each job produce and require, and how much citizens use, whatever we do, we always require 109% of population, which is of course imposible.
Thats why some goods will always be scarce.

My apologise for grammar mistakes.
