Items with double-counting in production statistics

Identifies production items that appear both as primary crop products and as harvested-area items, requiring special treatment to avoid double-counting in production and biomass accounting.

Usage

primary_double

Format

A tibble where each row corresponds to one item pair with a double-counting relationship. It contains the following columns:

• Item_area: Name of the item as it appears in harvested-area statistics (e.g., "Seed cotton, unginned").

• item_prod: Name of the derived production item (e.g., "Cotton lint, ginned", "Cotton seed").

• item_prod_code: Numeric FAOSTAT production code of the derived item.

• Multi_type: Classification of the double-counting type:

  • "Primary": The area item is the primary crop; product is a direct output.

  • "Primary_area": Area is recorded under a primary aggregate crop name.

  • "Multi": Multiple products share the same harvested area.

  • "Multi_area": Multiple products share a recorded area aggregate.
