Quota Overproduction Penalties
Definition
Historical quota system led to overproduction borne solely by growers due to ATMAC demand misestimates, with costs not realized through restructuring.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 78.2M total leaf purchase (12.7M kg), with over-quota leaf losses estimated at 5-10% of quota value or AUD 4-8M per season
- Frequency: Annual selling season
- Root Cause: Manual grading inaccuracies and lack of real-time quota visibility in procurement contracts
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Tobacco manufacturers and growers in Australia waste AUD 10-20M annually on over-quota leaf disposal. Automation of grading and quota tracking eliminates this risk.
