Weight (in Tonnes) of acceptable quality
Explanation:
The word "Qualification" is often used in many countries to mean "Acceptable Quality". There must be some portion of the supply which will inevitably be rejected. May be, this is specified in the deal (like 1% rejection or 2% rejection is acceptable etc..). The buyers are accepting this situation and looking at what savings they will make on the quantity of acceptable supplies.
