What is wrong with this data (18)
- 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': ['OTHER CITRUS'].
- 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.
- CUT-FLOWER PRODUCTION HAS NO DECLARED UNIT and is not usable as a site figure until verified. See `unit`.
- 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': ['OTHER FLOWERS'].
- 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': ['OTHER FRUITS', 'TOTAL CITRUS', 'TOTAL FRUITS'].
- 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.
- Columns skipped because the release left their A/P sub-header blank (every value in them was empty, so no figure is lost): ['VANILLA'].
- 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.
