What is wrong with this data (6)
- UNITS ARE LAKH, NOT '000, and differ from the horticulture store: area in lakh hectares, production in lakh tonnes, yield in kg per hectare. The measure keys name their unit so a mix-up cannot pass silently.
- FIBRE PRODUCTION IS IN BALES, and a bale is not one weight: cotton 170 kg, jute/mesta/sannhemp 180 kg. They share the source's single 'Production' column; the measure key carries the weight so the two can never be summed together or read as tonnes.
- 2025-26 is the 3rd Advance Estimate, not Final. It is recorded per period and must never be quoted as a settled figure.
- Rows named Cereals, Jute & Mesta, Nutri/Coarse Cereals, Other Pulses, Shree Anna /Nutri Cereals, Small Millets, Total Food Grains, Total Oil Seeds, Total Pulses are AGGREGATES of other rows, not crops. They would double-count if summed.
- 'Others' here is the remainder the release has not broken out — the COMPLEMENT of the named states, not a duplicate of them. It never appears beside a named union territory, and including it reconciles 88 of 89 crop-seasons to the all-India figure. It is still never printed as a place.
- A figure absent in the source is absent, not zero: the export writes an empty cell for missing and a literal 0.00 for a real zero, and the two are never conflated.
