Dear teachers,

can I say "Are you doing production of highly toxic pharmacological materials?"? (it is a line from a manufacturer questionnaire).
I searched through corporas and found this:
#" I prefer to do production here, and I'll tell you why: better control, " says McClintock. (BEATRICE MOTAMEDI, Chronicle Staff Writer)
#CALLER And so now -- thanks to you, I spent 20 years on the cruise ship doing production (Interview With Siegfried and Roy's Manager; Legal Analysts of Kobe Bryant Case Developments)

There are just a couple of entries, but the speakers seem to be natives, so maybe the context just isn't popular, but still we can say so?
