Yes, we have. The particular market for offal in Russia was attractive for us, as there are limited markets that pay well for offal. That is why it would be good to export offal back into the Russian market, if we could. This is one of the conversations we are having with the Russian authorities. Other countries are having similar conversations. Ultimately, we want to get back to a normalised trading relationship with Russia. However, that is not possible because of other foreign policy and security issues linked with the situation in Ukraine.
