A territorial unit applicable on the forest territory of the State that can include one to several management units (UA), only RGA 05 and 14 include an AU. In an RGA, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) allocates “Supply Guarantee” (GA) wood volumes to beneficiaries. The Sustainable Forest Development Act (LADTF) provides that the supply guarantee (GA) gives its beneficiary the right to annually buy a volume of wood from public forest territories of one or more RGAs, in order to supply the wood processing plant for which this guarantee is granted. The guarantee indicates the annual volumes of wood, by species or group of species, that can be purchased annually by the beneficiary, from each of the regions covered by the guarantee. This data comes from the MRNF STF system, which is the __official source__ of this geographic information. For more information on the list of beneficiaries with their volume assignments by RGA, please consult the [tables by region.] (https://diffusion.mern.gouv.qc.ca/public/DGAB/Registre_public/02_Repertoire_beneficiaires/)**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

These territorial data come from the MRNF STF system, which is __the official source__ of this geographic information, except for residual forest territories with management agreements (CGT) as well as category 1 land (TC1). Active __granted rights__ are established according to the MRNF SYMPA system. It is possible to identify the various beneficiaries __of active rights only__, i.e. from the STF_beneficiaries table. This table is fed by the SYMPA system, which establishes forest rights and the volumes allocated to them. Correspondence between a territory under granted law and the beneficiaries is possible by relating the table and the data set by the territory number (NO_TERRI).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
