Central America Poultry Export Quota Inc. (CAPEQ) is a not-for-profit corporation established in 2005 by the poultry industries of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the United States. The organization was created to assist governments in administering tariff rate quotas for chicken leg quarters imported from the United States under the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). With a focus on facilitating open tender auctions for the importation of chicken leg quarters, CAPEQ has played a significant role in the poultry trade within Central America. As of 2023, the organization no longer holds auctions for the tariff rate quota on chicken leg quarters, as these products will enter duty-free into the participating countries.
