Bill trully hit straight with his post.
Paul, I agree with you on livestock issue for Classical Greece and on cultivation.
Flax and Olive trees give several products with one crop that you can trade for those you do not have. Athenians relied on oil, ceramics and flax exports and grain or other food staff imports. They could just as well import weapons and armor.
In the off topic section you can find a link with a large variety of products coming from olive oil.

Some are medicinal which would add to their value.
Kind regards
