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.
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.
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.
Quotas and permits are owned by the Board.
No person shall transfer, assign, or sell a quota or permit to another person..."
