However, unlike Takamanohara, Virgin Land Corporation was quite sensible. They knew they didn't have the strength to challenge the foundation of the top-tier food monopoly and decided that joining the Celestial trade agreement would be more beneficial. Thus, they actively reached a settlement with OFEC, not with food, but under the guise of seasonings and industrial raw materials, adding LARVA larvae to the trade.
Virgin Land Corporation promised not to send maggot meat to the civilian dining table to impact the stock prices of agricultural companies. Without holding previous grudges, they collaborated with many companies, including Terra, and many maggot farms were simply joint ventures. From raw materials to cultivation to marketing, all were handled by local tycoon agents with channels. Virgin Land only earned patent fees, which was quite sensible indeed. Only then did OFEC, persuaded by other committee members, let them off the hook.
