What's the point of the South Block Trade Post orders?

Is it just to make money? Or is there a benefit to trading a lot?

In terms of making money, is it very profitable? It seems like the prices are a little more than selling at a regular store, and you an do it in bulk which is good, but they're not that much more.

It is just a way to get money. Sometimes prices can be good, but it isn't a huge money spinner. People that just go for the money will probably be fishing instead.

It is nice to sell some of the extra vegetables. Sure selling fish gives money faster, but if you have a week with really low prices in the shops in town, it can be a nice extra money boost on the side to use the trade station.
