    What is?
    The Hilton Quota is an export quota of boneless-high quality and value beef that the European Union grants to producing and exporting countries of meat.
    The EU Regulation that is in force is the N° 810/2008; Argentina is the country that has the highest percentage of quota with 28,000 tonnes annually, representing nearly half of the Hilton Quota granted by Europe.

    The quota is covered with cuts of beef from steers, young steers or heifers that have been fed exclusively on pastures from weaning; and the carcasses of young steers that are classified as category “JJ”, “J”, “U” or “U2” and steers and heifers that are classified as “AA”, “A” or “B” according to the Official Classification System, established by the former Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food of Argentina.

    The cuts which make up the quota are: Chilled boneless cuts of Striploin, Cube Roll, Rump, Tenderloin, Topside, Knuckle, Flat and Eyeround.

    To determine the order of merit for the assignment of the quota, a Tribunal of Evaluation and Monitoring of Hilton is created. This Tribunal issues an Opinion based on the analysis of the information provided by applicants according to what was determined by the Contest Rules and Bidding Terms and Conditions for each business cycle.

    The Enforcement Authority allocates the quota annually and calls for proposals to stakeholders each new business cycle.
