Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Upon reflection, maybe I just mis-read you?

Maybe by "greatly exported", you just meant a great effect, and not transporting the bulk of it, as I read it (with the context of the prior discussion)?

Yes, that was my meaning.

I think "largely exported" does convey the meaning of "mostly exported".

Neither "greatly" nor "largely" mean "mostly", but both are used imprecisely as vague intensifiers.

In other words, redstar could be misunderstood, and it's better, when we manage to think of it (note to self), to avoid greatly bolstering our arguments with this kind of verbal stuffing.
