During the time of the Price Support Program in the United States , the “quota” was the number of pounds of tobacco that could be grown by a tobacco farmer in any given year. The USDA determined a national limit on the amount of tobacco that could be grown each year. First, a figure called the basic quota was calculated based on the following factors: 1) the purchase plans of manufacturers; 2) average annual exports for the three previous years; and 3) the amount of tobacco needed to meet a specified reserve stock level. The USDA then adjusted the basic quota to account for the amount of tobacco that was over- or under-produced from the previous year's quota; this final figure was called the effective quota. Once the effective quota was determined for the nation, it was divided among all U.S. tobacco growers into individual quotas. The term quota is sometimes used interchangeably with the term allotment.
