Food & Dairy / Food production and sales
French term or phrase: prélevée
This is the full sentence

"Une marge sera prélevée sur les ventes afin de financer les activités de sensibilisation, formation et accompagnement mises en œuvre par xxxx."

The whole document is about a project by xxxx in Africa.

I believe the meaning, not the translation per se, of the sentence is that some portion of the sales will finance awareness outreach, training and the furthering of the project.

I am stumped about the use of prélevée here. The dictionary seems to give me the choice of deducted or levied. Part of my confusion is the use of marge which I posted as a separate quesion.
