The difference between the variation in sales in pesos and the equivalent in dollars is due to the appreciation of 6.8%, observed when comparing the average exchange rate of the peso with respect to the US dollar of 20.18 pesos per dollar in the first six months of 2021, compared to 21.66 pesos in the same period of the previous year.

More than anything, the increase in national sales in the first half of 2021 is due to a greater commercialization of the Business of Salt for Domestic Consumption and Industrial Applications.
