Let us not forget the closure of the Brazilian factory!
Even though Brazilian production would increase the distribution
cost, it could presumably be started up again to deal exclusively
with bulk purchases. (Not forgetting, of course, the high
initial cost of re-opening the factory, hiring workers, training,
etc.)
