How important is it to our industry to export? Well, we are the most export dependent of all the large producers in the world—besides maybe Denmark, but Denmark is part of the European Union. The share of other countries, such as the U.S.... Their export share is, what, 15% or 20% of their total production? But keep in mind that 10% of their supply of hogs came from Canada.
India is the last frontier, the last big market to be opened besides the European Union. People will say there are no opportunities in India, that they don't eat pork or don't have pork. I wouldn't eat Indian pork either; it's not very safe. There are some quality controls they have to work on.
Some Canadian pork is already going into India, somehow. At the same time, the Indian authorities are determined to have only one set of import requirements. They don't want to approve the countries one by one or the plants one by one.
After three years of banging our heads on the Indian door, finally, after the visit of Minister Ritz, we were able to really understand what the Indians' preoccupations were. The Indian minister gave us some opening to there being negotiations we could go to in order to finally have access. We were not pleased with the conditions the Indian government had proposed at this time, but at least we were able to open the door.
