But the overall impact on total cost of products around about sort of 8% to 10%.
Then you've got the, so that's all of our plastics and our materials coming from overseas.
And then you've got what's coming through our suppliers here in Australia.
So all of our freight.
So obviously we're in a process now where we're making sure that all of the freight coming into our business is supported through the cost increase.
And so that's adding cost and then our farmers.
So we've separately to sort of the 8% to 10% cost increase we're getting through our supplies, our direct supplies have then gone back to our farmers and we're looking to support them.
with a sort of a step up in milk price to help support their costs.
Their main costs are urea or fertilizer on their farms, which impacts their output significantly and the fuel that they use in sort of day-to-day farm activities, you know, sowing crops or feeding livestock or running their dairy through their generators.
No, we're trying to fully match that.
Yeah, so we've done a fair bit of work.
It's quite difficult.
So different farmers in different regions have very different cost structures.
So a farmer in a high rainfall area will mostly be using natural paddock-based fodder for their kilojoules for their cattle to produce milk, whereas a farmer...
In a drier area, less rainfall feeds, does a lot of supplementary feeding, so they're importing wheat and grains, and they would be impacted more.
But overall, we've tried to make sure that we've done an average cost at the higher end across our farmers, and we've worked across sort of all their different pricing structures to make sure that they're not out of pocket.
It'll be, I'm just trying to think, it's probably our total cost base.
