Try harder.
Your experience v. another's experience does nothing to
discount that you do not
apparently understand the fundamentals of business and new opportunities from your constant denial/disregard of fundamentals.
Interesting you now mention freight...,
costs of freight and distribution to export markets are a consideration you now acknowledge?

Would you like to consider
raw materials sourcing
processing/beneficiation
energy .... as a few more at the front end
now as well?
