kuotave

Kuotave is an Albanian plural noun meaning quotas or allocation limits. It is commonly used in policy, economics, and journalism to refer to predefined quantities that are permitted or allocated within a regulatory system. Examples include import quotas, emission quotas, or fishing quotas, where the total permitted amount is divided among producers, countries, or regions.

Etymology and linguistic notes: Kuotave derives from kuotë, the Albanian word for quota. Kuotë itself is borrowed from Italian quota, which traces back to Latin quota. In Albanian texts, kuotave appears as the plural form used in various grammatical cases and contexts.

Usage and contexts: The term appears across sectors such as trade, environment, and agriculture. In trade discussions, kuotave describe the legally sanctioned limits on the volume of goods that can be imported or exported. In environmental policy, kuotave refer to caps on emissions or other resource uses under regulatory schemes. In agriculture and fisheries, they denote production or catch limits assigned to entities or regions. The concept aligns with international use of quotas to manage supply, competition, and sustainability.
