Wild raw in-shell edible nuts

1. Scope and Applicability

This method covers edible nuts gathered from untended natural sources, not intentionally grown, and dispatched raw in-shell at a declared gatherer or primary producer handover. Species, natural source and actual operations establish eligibility; a forest address does not prove wild origin. It covers collection, attributable pre-gate transfer and actual simple outer pod/husk separation, cleaning, grading, drying/storage and packaging. Each is activated only when owned and actually performed. Evidence: unsd-cpc3-wild-nuts; fao-nwfp-food-handling.

Cultivated orchards, plantation nut production, seedling propagation, fertilization, irrigation and growing operations are excluded. Kernel shelling, roasting, salting, extraction, oil pressing, prepared foods, downstream wholesale/export manufacture, retail transport, consumption and consumer end-of-life are excluded. Removing an outer fruit/pod/cone is not removing the nut's hard shell. No instruction certifies food safety or encourages consumption of unidentified nuts.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	pcr.agriculture-forestry-and-fishery-products.forestry-and-logging-products.wild-edible-nuts
classification_refs	CPC 3.0 03231; partial raw in-shell scope
covered_products	Actual species-qualified raw in-shell wild edible nuts from untended sources; simple pre-handover preparation only
excluded_products	Intentionally grown nuts; shelled kernels; roasted/salted/prepared nuts; oil; mixed-source lots without traceable wild contributions
representative_product	One declared wild species and grade of raw in-shell nuts at primary handover
production_route	Untended source gathering -> actual transfer -> conditional outer pod/husk removal and grading -> conditional drying/storage -> qualified packaging/handover
market_state	Raw in-shell, as received, at the actual declared primary gate; not a universal commodity blend

The broad wild-nut classification note establishes origin, not all market-form equivalence. This in-shell method is narrower than the full leaf; no claim is made that shelled-kernel forms are covered. Historical Brazil-nut and pine examples support possible operations, not present universal yields, seasons, losses or prices.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Net accepted as-received in-shell mass is weighed using cp_handover; packaging and foreign matter excluded, hard shell included. All rows use per 1 kg reference flow.
form_mass_bridge	natural_nut_removal, gathered_nut_material, conditioning_nut_feed, conditioned_in_shell_nuts, preservation_nut_feed, preserved_in_shell_nuts	Mass	kg	Measure incoming/outgoing forms separately; pair same-lot water, solids and stock records. Dry resource mass cannot replace wet in-shell product mass without measured conversion; no universal shell/husk yield.
energy_units	collection_energy, conditioning_energy, preservation_energy, handover_energy	Energy	MJ	Preserve actual carrier amount and energy basis; electricity kWh may convert by exact 3.6 MJ/kWh, fuels/heat require recorded matching net/gross basis. Native service hours and transport tonne-kilometres are not energy.
package_tare	packaging_materials, wild_nuts_handover	Mass	kg	Subtract weighed packaging tare; item-count packaging requires measured mass per actual item/configuration. Container return is stock movement, not nut product mass.

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
provisional_range_evidence_policy	all Ranges and actual exchanges	compatible property of each actual exchange	native unit of each actual exchange	All reasoned_estimate Ranges are provisional review prompts for this candidate method, not measured distributions, allowable losses, default quantities or emission factors. Never clip, backfill or force actual records to fit them; investigate state, units, boundary, stocks and evidence when exceeded. Before completing a data package, determine actual quantities and uncertainty from traceable measurements or applicable reviewed quantitative sources. Retain missing amounts, factors and flow identities as gaps that block completeness claims; passing a range screen is not evidence.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Actual untended natural source at collection, or verified already-gathered wild material at its actual upstream handoff with prior burden and mass state declared
starting_condition_role	Natural resource removal owned by included collection, or attributable technosphere feed when collection is upstream; exclusive per physical portion
product_classification_scope	Raw in-shell primary wild-nut scope; no cultivated or kernel-processing recursion
recursive_input_rule	Already gathered same-category inputs retain actual supplier state/source/gate and upstream burden once. Do not add a second natural removal ledger or reset their prior burdens.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Actual supplier/service inputs need compatible verified concrete identities and supporting upstream datasets; missing identity/source/quantity is disclosed, not replaced by a convenient cultivated nut dataset.
disclosure	Enumerate source sites, lots, campaigns, owned operations, bypasses, gates, stock periods, shared assets/consumers, secondary destinations and all omissions.

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
wild_source_eligibility	source lots	Require evidence that nuts were untended and gathered, not intentionally grown; intentional cultivation inputs are outside this method.	unsd-cpc3-wild-nuts
removal_owner	collection, transfer	Collection combines removal and capture responsibility as one node, independent of later conditioning; assign each source portion to included natural removal or an upstream gathered product, never both. Uncollected habitat biomass is not a produced waste.	fao-nwfp-food-handling
actual_route_gate	all processes	Include only actual owned pre-gate operations. Prepared or purchased inputs may bypass collection/conditioning/preservation; final acceptance is required. Declare the actual gate and record each intermediate handoff.	fao-nwfp-food-handling
state_exclusions	conditioning, handover	Outer pod/husk removal may leave raw in-shell nuts; kernel shelling/roasting/manufacture and downstream distribution remain excluded. No inferred gate/state equivalence.	fao-nwfp-food-handling
site_period_scope	source and shared assets	Enumerate each contributing site/campaign/period and common-boundary linkage. Attribute shared access/tools/storage to actual consumers and periods once; no forest area, lifetime or annual yield default.

6. Process Inventory Structure

Collection/campaign mode is explicitly lot based. Index every row by source site, lot, campaign, event date and reporting period. Conditionals may have actual zero, one or multiple concrete exchanges; umbrellas never imply a generic UUID. Collection intended nut-bearing material and incidental discards, conditioning usable grade/other goods/waste states, preservation usable state/spoilage/water loss, and handover accepted grades/rejects remain distinct with named recipients. Re-sort loops return measured material to conditioning and retain added burdens; no loop is a new final output. For every active node record named on-site pollutant emission quantities/factors and receiving compartments in its protocol, separately from water vapour; reconcile owner and inclusive service boundary. Record actual on-site retention separately from product dispatch or off-site waste.

Lower-grade whole raw in-shell nuts of the declared wild species (conditioning_lower_grade_nuts)

Conditional on this exact material being independently intended and actually handed over inside the existing process boundary. Record actual species/material, physical form, grade, moisture/composition where relevant, lot, recipient, quantity and gate. A named example does not establish actual production or a default recipe. Keep each physical lot and destination separate; do not count an internal transfer or a selected reference-output lot again as a co-product. For a genuinely mixed screenings/offcut stream, retain measured physical composition rather than inventing separation or also counting its components.

Collection and handover scope: Conditional downgrade edible nut grades, outer pod/husk goods or non-food saleable materials require actual intended use and buyer handoff. Not automatic coproducts, accepted reference nuts or disposal-credit substitutes. Kernels produced by excluded shelling are outside this method.

A retained lower-grade lot sent to a later producer handover is an internal transfer, not an independent sale here. Link the matching existing handover_other_grades record and expose the physical product handover once. Outer pod and husk labels may describe the same actual covering; identify the actual anatomy/stream and count it once, without inventing separate components.

• Selected flow: Lower-grade whole raw in-shell nuts of the declared wild species

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
output_ownership	all outputs	Enumerate every intended accepted grade and actual other good with mass, quality, use and recipient handoff. Discards, retained residue and saleable goods are not interchangeable; no automatic coproduct or avoided-treatment credit.
allocation_precedence	multiple intended goods	Subdivide separately measured operations first. Where inseparable shared burdens remain, use an evidenced physical causal driver; otherwise document a reviewed period-specific economic share with actual prices and sensitivity. One burden receives one method and shares sum to the allocated total; no universal nut/husk ratio.
period_site_attribution	campaigns, stocks and shared assets	Reconcile each site's matching campaign inputs/accepted output, opening/closing stocks and transfers before mass-weighted aggregation of compatible species/state/gate. Do not average unrelated sites or seasons. Enumerate tool/access/store consumers and use measured hours/payload/activity as causal driver; asset service/renewal/termination burden goes to actual recorded periods once, no assumed lifetime.
reject_loop_burden	conditioning, preservation, handover	Keep rejection/spoilage burden with its actual originating lot; measured returns to conditioning receive only additional operation burdens. Count an accepted lot once at handover, not at intermediate transfers or every re-sort pass. Downgraded goods and waste each retain their explicit burden decision.
inclusive_service	transport and shared services	Inclusive contracted service and foreground energy/emission/asset inventories are alternative representations of the same responsibility; document one choice and exclusions. Human labour is not an inferred material/energy flow.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Specific input identification before dataset completion

Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
lot_reconciliation	physical material records	Same-boundary incoming material plus opening stock and actual added water/material must reconcile with separately measured usable/other-good/waste outputs, evidenced water loss and closing stock. Explain residual discrepancy; never treat all mass loss as evaporation.	matched forms and moisture; stocks; weighed outputs and destinations	reconciled lot ledger and discrepancy evidence
record_normalization	collected exchange records	Divide each actual physical campaign/lot quantity by the matching accepted net in-shell kilograms for the physical ledger per 1 kg reference flow. Keep all measured inputs, intermediates, other goods, wastes and stocks in that ledger without economic-share scaling. Separately apply the documented allocation decision to shared burdens, then divide the burden attributed to the reference product by its matching accepted mass. Label physical-ledger and allocated-burden results distinctly; allocation must not change measured yields or erase co-output mass. A missing accepted denominator is a gap.	owned quantities; matched accepted mass; allocation and period/site records	separately labelled normalized physical ledger and allocated burden
resource_bridge	natural_nut_removal	Retain measured natural-source nut-bearing form mass and paired water/solids conversion when elementary support uses dry matter; do not set dry biomass resource equal to wet dispatch.	matched resource state; paired moisture; quantity	evidenced source mass basis
water_loss	drying_water_vapour	Derive only actual evaporated water from matched pre/post water, added water, stock movements and water leaving other paths; prove receiving air compartment. No whole mass-loss or universal drying factor.	moisture and weighed lot records; water/waste paths; stock ledger	actual evaporated water

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
source_form_quality	every nut-bearing lot	Declare wild untended proof, species, edible identity and acceptance criterion, raw in-shell state, hard shell included, outer pod/husk excluded and moisture basis; unverified/unknown source is a gap, not default wild status or food advice.	source observations and supplier chain; actual acceptance/test record
campaign_site_coverage	aggregated foreground	Enumerate contributors, dates, reporting periods, sampling/omission decisions and comparable gate/state. Reconcile every site ledger before compatible output-mass weighting. Include unused/failed campaign activity when attributable, never successful-lot-only bias.	site/campaign contribution table and sampling rationale
stock_assets	assets and cross-period material	Match opening/closing balances, source/destination transfers, asset service periods, replacement/termination events and actual consumers; unresolved period ownership blocks final attribution.	stock/asset/use ledger and reconciliation
measurement_identity	concrete exchange production	Identify actual supplies, services, wastes and elementary substances/receiving compartments with verified property/unit. No generic umbrella UUID, invented pollution factor or automatic emission from a common name.	concrete identity detail evidence; primary measurements or reviewed factors
provisional_ranges	non-reference Range blocks	Broad candidate-only QA estimates use 0 lower to permit actual non-occurrence. Mass screens of 20 kg cover uncertain pod/foreign-matter forms, repeated measured intermediates and deliberately broad substance-specific emission screening (not combustion stoichiometry); 10 kg cover loss paths and ancillary materials; packaging 5 kg flags large returnable-container attribution. Energy 100 MJ, service 20/100 h and transport 100 t km deliberately flag unusually intense small-output campaigns. These order-of-magnitude author screens are not FAO quantities, plausible yield guarantees, defaults or admissible maxima. Values outside require reviewed scope/evidence, never clipping, zero replacement or automatic rejection; replace with matched empirical intervals.	reasoned_estimate; no external numerical source claimed
reference_range	wild_nuts_handover	The 1..1 kg range is the declared normalization identity, not collection yield, required dispatch size or physical input-output equality.	cp_handover accepted denominator

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
validate_reference	reference product	Check real accepted output at declared gate, net in-shell kg, species/grade/source/moisture and matching reference link/name; upstream/intermediate mass must not be fixed to 1 kg.
validate_route	source and operations	Validate untended gathered source, actual active/bypassed nodes and their handoffs; exclude cultivated inputs and kernel processing. One source portion has one resource/upstream owner.	unsd-cpc3-wild-nuts
validate_mass_destinations	all material records	Reconcile actual shell/pod/water/stock states and every usable grade, other good, waste or retained residue; prevent unknown mass loss from becoming water vapour and rejects from becoming accepted reference.
validate_campaign_allocation	campaigns/sites/periods/shared assets	Check contributor completeness, compatible weighted aggregation, actual campaign/changeover records and allocation precedence/shares. Replacement/termination and return/re-sort events have one owner; repeated service/energy/stock burdens fail.
validate_identities	concrete exchanges	Confirm exact flow type, state/gate, wild origin where relevant, property/unit and elementary compartment. Resolve each umbrella from actual records; verification and quantity evidence remain separate. Missing identity or unsupported conversion stays a gap.
validate_ranges	every card	Check Range basis/unit/evidence alignment and measured zero/positive occurrence; provisional screens trigger evidence review, not a default quantity. Record performed/skipped checks and remaining uncertainty.

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	Foreground data package; downstream secondary_dataset or background_dataset only within declared compatible scope
downstream_use	Dataset/process/lifecyclemodel representation of actual untended-source raw in-shell primary supply

excluded_use	Cultivated nuts; shelled/processed foods; universal nut mixes/yields; unverified edible identity; safety certification; avoided-product credits; undisclosed stage or source substitution
required_metadata	Source/site/campaign/lot; species; wild proof; state/shell/husk/moisture/grade; actual gate/route; temporal/geographic scope; protocols; allocation and contributors; stock/assets; concrete identities
required_quality_disclosure	Measurements and tests; primary source provenance; unverified identities; provisional ranges; omissions/sampling; stocks/reject destinations; uncertainty; performed/skipped validation
update_trigger	New species/source/form/gate, actual route or supplier change, refined measurements or UUID evidence, asset/stock attribution change or revised classification/method evidence
