We rely on exports as only 25% of our production stays in Brazil, so that's a huge asset you have here in India to have such a huge industrial base. As we don't have that robust industrial base in Brazil, we have to rely on exports..exports..exports but still, it does not impinge on our sustained growth trajectory.
I mean Brazil cotton has a high compliance work ethos and are entirely aligned with new standards everywhere they're coming out from i.e. gold standards and private standards, regulations, legislation whether in the U. S./ everywhere. Although, it has to be mentioned here that, increasing cross-border production are one of the challenges that we're facing.
