Read a random definition: commercial treaty

A quick definition of quota:

Quota: A certain amount of something that is assigned to a person or group. It can be a minimum or maximum number. For example, a salesperson may have a quota of how many products they need to sell in a month. There are also export and import quotas, which limit the amount of products that can be sold or brought into a country. In history, the phrase "quot articuli tot libelli" meant that there were as many points of dispute as there were written accusations.

A more thorough explanation:

A quota is a specific amount or limit assigned to a person or group. It can be a minimum or maximum number of something.

  • A university may have a quota for the number of in-state residents they admit each year.
  • A salesperson may have a quota for the number of products they need to sell in a month.
  • An export quota is a limit on the amount of products that can be sold to foreign countries.
  • An import quota is a limit on the amount of a certain product that can be brought into a country from a foreign country.

These examples illustrate how a quota can be used to set a specific goal or limit for different situations. It can be used to ensure fairness, regulate trade, or motivate individuals to meet certain targets.
