Q&A highlights
Q: Do you expect a change in margins these campaigns as costs are rising as well as prices? And did we see that we are going to have a differentiated for soybean this campaign as we had by the end of the last campaign?
A: Related to cost, there was a main increase in fertilizers. Margins likely to decrease depending on yields. Brazil's input costs up more, margins lower there. Government may announce soybean dollar for selling remaining crops.
Q: Are you having access to pay and which are the plans for the remaining $14 million hold out from the exchange?
A: Central bank sold dollars for debt payment, small payments done without problem. Remaining amount to be paid using local market raised money in February if no policy change.

A: There was a $2 million gain from stock revaluation and positive impact from service company.
Q: Do you intend to do more share buybacks? And do you intend to keep on paying dividends going forward? If so, any targets?
