Effectively, quota holdings became “passports” to Western developed markets. If a supplier was not part of the “quota club”, it was very difficult to gain market access unless the supplier’s country was favoured with special tariff or quota preferences.
Nowadays, buyers no longer have to scour the world looking for available quota. Consequently, they have less need to maintain a large portfolio of suppliers. Choosing suppliers has become more a question of picking the most competitive in terms of cost, location, speed of delivery, and quality—although compliance with social and ethical standards has also become important.
