What is wrong with this data (14)
  • 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.
  • 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'].
