It's relevant what the government is doing related to agriculture. There are some critics that they didn't took -- they didn't take the taxes on exports still, they made a small reduction. Today, on the 30th of June, there is a maybe a threat of coming back to the price to the taxes they were before. So coming back from the 26% of soybean to 33%. But still, the government insists that it's going to reduce. And he still talks about finishing directly taxes and experts, understanding that damage a lot the agribusiness and it's true. But meantime, the announcement of the only $1 or close to $1 that I think this is the biggest macro now for Argentina. And I think -- that is going to explain why I'm so optimistic on the price of the land of Argentina. Argentina is connected to the price of the core belt of U.S. that is the big correlation. In 2012, 2013 and stayed almost at the same at the $12,000, $13,000, $14,000, $15,000, the hectare of the corn belt. These days, we see some rebound in Argentina. They are speaking about 10%, 20%, beginning to increase the price of the land. But regard to the price of the U.S. all to Brazil is huge. So there is a big chance of that to reduce in the future. So I think there is a drop or a small drop in the price of the land of U.S. and Brazil, comparing to an increase because of the Argentine measures. So I'm optimistic, and we think that we are going to buy some new pieces in Argentina. We have a big portion in Argentina. So the biggest portfolio of land that we have inside of Argentina, we expect that to reevaluate but we think we are going to be buying some assets in Argentina these days, to because of these macro situations. Related to Brazil, yes, we are looking for opportunities, mainly in debt situations, forced to sell but the price of the land went very much up. So the opportunities in Brazil needs to appear because of some crisis. In general, prices are high. So in these prices, you don't find -- you don't see any rebound as we see in Argentina that is probably more possible.
