You need to analyze the situation based on news and rumors throughout Liberty. Buffalo Base pays the most for cardamine, so that indicates that lots of Rogues are addicted to cardamine. If a Rogue is arrested by the LPI, the Rogue ends up in a prison in Texas. When the ex-Rogue is released from prison he ends up on Planet Houston where he does one of three things:
Continues making consumer goods as he did while in prison, except that now he makes some minimal wages;
Betrays his fellow Rogues and becomes a bounty hunter (possibly joining BHG);
Goes back to being a Rogue.
If he succeeds in kicking his cardamine habit, he might go with any of the three options, but would be more likely to go with options 1 or 2. If he remains addicted to cardamine, he might try option 1 for a while, but eventually he'll realize that a factory worker doesn't make enough to support a cardamine habit, so he'll go with option 3. Anyway, cardamine addicts would provide a strong market for cardamine on Planet Houston, thereby accounting for the high price there.
