What is wrong with this data (20)
- The workbook carries no publisher line of its own; attribution rests on the download page in source.url.
- 'Others' rows are unallocated residuals, not places. Never name one as a state.
- No crop is excluded; potato is included (the indianpotato-web carve-out was reversed on 2026-09-14).
- Crop names are the workbook's, with the '(i)' style bullet inside the Citrus block stripped; the sub-group is carried in `subgroup` instead.
- Category and sub-group totals ARE included, but carry kind = 'aggregate' and must be excluded before summing — they would double-count. Only kind = 'crop' rows are crops.
- Two categories are corrected against the sheet's own layout: it prints an 'Aromatics and Medicinal' header with no crops under it before the flower rows, and gives Honey no header. Flowers Cut/Loose are labelled Flowers, and Honey is labelled Honey.
- QUANTITY IS IN TONNES and VALUE IN MILLIONS OF US DOLLARS. The report also prints value in rupee lakhs; one dimension tuple carries one unit, and the dollar figure is the one published for comparison. The rupee column is in the source document.
- 'CHILLI' is the trade line as DGCI&S classifies it and is attached to Red Chillies (Dried), which is the form India exports at scale. It is not strictly the dried-only column of the horticulture release.
- 'NUTMEG & MACE' is one trade line covering both, attached to Nutmeg. Mace is the aril of the same fruit.
- 'CARDAMOM(S)' is small cardamom and is attached to Cardamom. The report's CARDAMOM(L), large cardamom, is a different species and is NOT carried — the Atlas has no production series for it.
- The report's CELERY, OTHER SEEDS, OTHER SPICES, CURRY POWDER/PASTE, SPICE OILS & OLEORESINS and MINT PRODUCTS lines are not carried. Each would need a commodity with no production series behind it, and a crop page holding trade data alone cannot render.
- TOTAL is the report's own all-spices total and is flagged as an aggregate; it includes the lines not carried above, so it is larger than the sum of the items in this file.
- The workbooks carry no publisher line of their own; attribution rests on the download page in source.url.
- 'Others' rows are unallocated residuals, not places; they carry kind = 'residual'.
- Columns named TOTAL… or OTHER… are aggregates of the columns beside them, not crops. They are kept for the additivity check and carry kind != 'crop': none.
- Union Territories ARE included, from each workbook's separate UT sheet, and carry kind = 'ut'.
- State naming drifts between releases (Chhatisgarh/Chhattisgarh, Arunchal/Arunachal Pradesh). Normalise via the region registry before joining years — do not join on the raw string.
- A crop absent in one year's sheet is simply absent — it is not a zero.
- Potato is included. It was previously excluded so it could live only in indianpotato-web; that rule was reversed on 2026-09-14.
- Columns skipped because the release left their A/P sub-header blank (every value in them was empty, so no figure is lost): ['VANILLA'].
