'''Central Market''' is the [[Banana Farm (Battles 2)|Banana Farm]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. Compared to [[Marketplace (Battles 2)|Marketplace]], each cash packet is worth $160 instead of $70, for up to $2240 per round before crosspathing. [[Increased Production (Battles 2)|Increased Production]] and [[Greater Production (Battles 2)|Greater Production]] each increase the number of collections per round by 2, totalling up to $2560 and $2880 per round, respectively. [[Long Life Bananas (Battles 2)|Long Life Bananas]] does nothing to Central Market, but [[Valuable Bananas (Battles 2)|Valuable Bananas]] increases the value of each collection by +25%, for up to $2800 per round. Also, each Central Market provides +10% increased income to all [[Merchantman (Battles 2)|Merchantmen]] and subsequent upgrades. This buff to Merchantmen stacks additively with multiple Central Markets, and has a maximum benefit of +~~100~~%.

==Strategy==

Central Market acts like a budget version of [[Banana Research Facility (Battles 2)|Banana Research Facility]] with extra sellback, however it's less cost-efficient than the 4-0-1 Banana Research Facility, so ~~it's~~ only real benefits over that is gaining +10% cash from [[Benjamin (Battles 2)|Benjamin]]'s Bank Hack, its potential synergies with [[Merchantman (Battles 2)|Merchantmen]] and above, and as a transition to [[Monkey Wall Street (Battles 2)|Monkey Wall Street]]. Like [[Marketplace (Battles 2)|Marketplace]], 2-0-4 is always the better crosspath, as 0-2-4 makes less income for negligible cash saving.
