I think an important point that you started to bring out is that not only did the Peruvian campesinos or farmers start to abandon their fields, but the price of cocaine in Peru went down tenfold, and all of a sudden it was so cheap that they could not afford to grow other solid anymore. So I think that is an important issue of the whole supply and demand, but it was directly because of Fujimora's actions.
