Frequently Asked Questions About The Exchange
A complete summary of MEF’s Retirement and Quota Reallocation System (the “Exchange”) is available upon request to Manitoba Egg Farmers.
What were the reasons for developing the Quota Exchange?
The Exchange has enabled some orderly consolidation of quota and retirement by farmers who do not wish to leave their farms. Prior to introduction of the Exchange in 1990, Manitoba Egg Farmer’s (MEF) Quota Orders allowed complete farm sales and the sale of moveable buildings and equipment. Often farmers who wished to retire and remain on the farm had layer and pullet barns that were fully depreciated and therefore could not be readily moved to a different site. In addition, quota cutbacks through the ’70’s and ’80’s left farmers operating below the physical capacity of their cages and barns.
Why a Quota Exchange and not some other model?
The Exchange system had the added benefit of accessibility to anyone wishing to enter the industry as well as farmers regardless of their location or size. The openness of the Exchange model has helped build public confidence that the right to produce is available to all.
Why can't I buy quota directly from my neighbour rather than going through the Quota Exchange?
Quotas and permits are owned by the Board.
No person shall transfer, assign, or sell a quota or permit to another person…”
The Manitoba Farm Products Marketing Council (MFPMC) approves all Orders and Regulations of MEF.
