Quota Allocation Survey Dec 2017

The SAFETI principles are defined by BCEMB for allocations as follows:

Strategic	encourages active engagement from producers and is in line with the BCEMB Strategic Plan
Accountable	is accountable to all industry stakeholders including ensuring the grading stations and consumers have the production types they need
Fair	is fair to all quota holders which may not mean equitable
Effective	the allocation method meets the objectives of BCEMB’s strategic plan
Transparent	easily understandable and clearly defined
Inclusive	all producers and stakeholders have had the opportunity to take part in the consultation and all producers have the ability to take part in any allocations

Do you agree with BCEMB’s SAFETI analysis?

Please enter an 'other' value for this selection.

Please rank which of these allocation methods best fulfills the SAFETI principles? You can find more information by clicking on each option: Pro-Rata; Equal Distribution; Region Specific, Production-Type Specific, Variable Allocation
