You can speak with the Village Intermediary, Nata, when he unlocks at the end of the main story of Monster Hunter Wilds. He talks with all the village traders and tells you what they want at your base camp, next to your tent. Talk with Nata every time you complete a hunt to see what ingredients villagers wish for in exchange for their cooking ingredients.
