Product Category Rule: Fresh Whole Olives

1. Scope and Applicability

This rule covers orchard production, picking and any actual pre-gate grading of intact, unpressed and uncured olives. Table and oil destinations are fruit lot attributes, not oil or cured-olive outputs. Exclude pressing, pomace processing, brining, fermentation, canning and downstream transport. Declare rain-fed versus irrigated management and hand versus mechanical harvest. Link the perennial establishment period to bearing years.

2. Product Category Identity

classification_refs	CPC 3.0 01450 Olives; mapping relation: exact
covered_products	whole fresh olives for table, oil or dual-purpose fruit markets

representative_product	fresh whole olive fruit at farm gate
production_route	perennial establishment, orchard management, harvest and conditional on-farm grading
market_state	saleable whole fresh unprocessed fruit at farm gate

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	whole fresh olive fruit delivered at farm gate
How much	1 kg
How well	state table/oil destination, cultivar, maturity, integrity and damage class
How long or cycle	declared harvest year and orchard phase; attribute establishment across documented bearing years
reference_flow_link	reference_product_at_declared_handoff

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Olives b07470dd-3947-4e02-8058-11967225f927
Reference flow property	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66
Reference unit group	Mass units 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	cultivar or cultivar mix; table/oil destination; harvest date and maturity; damage/grade; geography and year; irrigation regime; harvest method; fresh-fruit moisture and weighing condition

The sole reference output is reference_product_at_declared_handoff at declared_reference_handoff, a mandatory measurement of the actual accepted product at the already declared gate. Process sort remains conditional: omission of its physical activities does not remove this reference. Select the actual last included product handoff and record its process/output id; accept only the same species, physical state, grade, moisture basis and gate as Section 3. The prior accepted_fruit row is the measured output of its actual operation when active, not an additional final sale. No bypass creates processing, a yield assumption, an extra burden or a change of product boundary.

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	Use measured net mass of whole fresh fruit at the gate; exclude crate tare, oil and brine.
orchard_area	perennial orchard	Area	ha	Record managed block area and production year; establishment area is a phase-attribution denominator only.
nutrient_basis	fertilizers	Mass	kg product and kg nutrient	Keep fertilizer product mass and N, P, K nutrient mass separately; never mix these bases.
fruit_balance	harvest and grading	Mass	kg	Reconcile gross lot mass with accepted, downgraded and rejected fruit, separated olive vegetation, non-plant matter, loss and stock change.

5. System Boundary

Include establishment, tree replacement, irrigation, nutrients and plant protection, pruning, on-site energy, fresh-fruit harvest and grading actually performed before the farm gate. Quantify soil emissions only with applicable methods and activity data, retaining substance and receiving medium. Link upstream production of purchased trees, fertilizers, electricity and fuels to background data. Exclude post-gate transport, pressing, curing, washing and packaging.

Process: Accepted-product measurement at declared handoff (declared_reference_handoff)

This measurement adds no processing, waste generation or emission. Preserve all real upstream operations and losses; bypass only operations demonstrated absent. Select one actual terminal product lot and cancel its paired internal transfer once when aggregating the system. Do not sum inactive routes, co-products or both source and handoff as accepted final output.

Inputs

Product flows

Accepted actual-route product at the same handoff (actual_route_product_for_handoff)

Measure only accepted product at the existing declared gate. Match one actual terminal source record; internal paired transfer and this reference represent the same event, not two sales. Verify identity for the actual species/state/gate independently; an identifier confirmed only for fresh farm-gate goods cannot represent an incompatible conditioned or independent pack-house state. Missing identity remains explicit and is not resolved by copying an adjacent output UUID.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
period_attribution	orchard establishment	Attribute recorded establishment inputs over documented benefiting bearing years using saleable fresh-fruit mass; revise for actual retirement, replacement or material yield changes, without a universal lifetime.	ioc-olive-growing
fruit_grade_attribution	table/oil grades	Allocate shared orchard inputs between table/oil fruit lots by saleable fresh-fruit mass; assign grade-specific harvest or sorting inputs directly, and never treat rejected fruit as a co-product.	uc-harvest-2013
double_count_prevention	all phases	Record each orchard event once; assign each physical mixed fertilizer product to one input card by N first, then P, then K-only, while tracking other nutrient contents analytically without duplicate exchanges.	mass-balance-identity

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Inventory completeness: conditional named cards are examples of individual exchanges, not an exhaustive recipe or a requirement to use those products. Before completing a foreground package, enumerate every actual planting stock, nutrient, crop-protection formulation, asset material, operating service, carrier, packaging material, waste stream and applicable elementary substance separately, using its physical identity, state, native property/unit, origin or receiving compartment, and measured or method-calculated quantity. Missing identity or quantity remains a completeness gap, never an assumed zero. Preserve the actual lot and phase basis; do not sum intermediate transfers as additional final output or duplicate burdens included in purchased services.

Retain raw site, lot, cycle and stage quantities and denominators in each collection protocol. Reconcile stocks, losses, moisture and co-product attribution first, then normalize: normalized exchange = attributable raw exchange × declared reference quantity / accepted hand-off product quantity on the same boundary and measurement basis. Apply perennial-establishment and shared-operation attribution before this normalization. Never set an internal-transfer quantity equal to the final reference quantity. Per declared reference flow means the amount, unit and product state in section 3; the data package must declare its actual route and gate.

All intervals are broad provisional QA screens, not default inventory values, compliance limits or cross-region yield promises. Use original block and lot records and replace screens with reviewed regional evidence before publication.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids

chemical_species_mass_accounting	elementary_nutrient_emissions	Final elementary exchanges use the mass of the identified substance and one actual receiving compartment. Keep nutrient/activity ledgers separate: species-specific N2O-N × 44/28 gives N2O, NH3-N × 17/14 gives NH3, nitrate-N × 62/14 gives nitrate, and phosphate-P × 95/31 gives phosphate. If the selected flow is elemental phosphorus instead, report kg P and convert phosphate mass by 31/95 only when that species basis is evidenced. Apply a conversion exactly once only when the method output is on the elemental basis; measured compound mass is not reconverted. Total nutrient losses cannot be assigned to a single species without a supported split, and residual/retained soil nutrient is not an emission. Keep direct/indirect pathway ledgers and avoid repeating a pathway already included in the chosen method or upstream inventory. Factor uncertainty ranges screen factors on their stated basis, not final compound amounts or admissible site emissions. Normalize the attributable compound mass once using the accepted reference quantity and the matched measured output. Unknown activity, identity or compartment remains an evidence gap and blocks a completeness claim.	cp_emissions; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

Environmental Coverage Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
calc_managed_environment_coverage	actual managed-production nodes	For the actual owned managed-production node(s), require an applicability ledger for direct soil N2O, volatilisation/deposition-derived indirect N2O, leaching/runoff-derived indirect N2O, NH3/NOx and nutrient losses, plus actual liming/urea-use CO2. Primary calculation precedence is a representative pathway measurement, then a validated site/national method applicable to the crop, soil and management; otherwise use the compatible 2006 IPCC/2019-refined managed-soil equations and climate/input-specific factor selection for N2O and lime/urea CO2. Retain the exact edition, equation, tier, activity and factor units, climate and management applicability; no universal dose or emission factor is prescribed. Non-soil/protected routes need a method valid for their actual medium; do not force soil factors onto an inapplicable route. Use the same period/field N ledger for synthetic and organic additions, residues, actual relevant mineralisation/organic-soil and excreta pathways; demonstrate absent pathways rather than infer zero. Calculate direct and each indirect component separately, then assign each once to matching existing or new concrete cards; never add a total to its components. Convert N2O-N to molecular N2O by 44/28 once. NH3, NOx and nutrient/pesticide loss require an applicable measured or documented substance/fate model; total N/P or an unexplained balance residual is not a compound release. Keep actual receiving compartments and molecular versus elemental/reporting bases explicit; indirect formation does not remove the same N from the source ledger twice. Include actual local combustion releases separately using fuel-specific combustion-only methods; purchased electricity/heat/services retain upstream coverage once. Add one identity-specific exchange only for a supported release and reuse an existing matching card, with verified UUID or explicit unresolved identity. Missing applicable method/activity/factor/identity blocks completeness; it is not a justified zero. Attribute raw activity/release totals and normalize once to the matched accepted reference output.	cp_phase1_environment_coverage	attributed native environmental quantities per matched final reference	review-ipcc-soils-2019
calc_managed_land_coverage	actual managed-production nodes	For each actual owned managed-production site, collect the occupied area and dated occupation intervals, including attributable establishment/immature and production periods. Occupation is area multiplied by actual duration, converted explicitly to the selected area-time unit (1 ha = 10,000 m2; time in years); hectares per crop-cycle alone are not an area-time result without duration. Partition or take the union of overlapping establishment/management intervals so the same area-time is counted once, with shares across actual co-users summing to one. Record evidenced land transformation separately by actual from/to land class, event area and date under the declared land-use method; transformation has area units and is not added to occupation. Planting, continued occupation or missing prior-land data do not establish a transformation or zero transformation. Preserve actual historical-event attribution and carbon-stock/emission method coverage where applicable; no invented land conversion or generic carbon credit. Instantiate separate compatible elementary identities with verified UUIDs or explicit unresolved identities; attribute once and normalize to the matched final reference. Purchased completed biological inputs inherit compatible upstream land coverage once instead of duplicating it locally. Missing applicable land identity, area, duration or prior-state evidence remains a completeness gap; documented no transformation is a valid absence.	cp_phase1_environment_coverage	attributed native environmental quantities per matched final reference

calc_final_handoff_normalization	all foreground quantities and actual route outputs	Let R be positive measured accepted final mass in kg for one matched species/state/grade/gate/period, excluding tare, rejects, co-products and held stock.

Attributable inventory contribution = attributable raw quantity/R * 1 kg, preserving native numerator units and the existing output/period attribution. A local intensity q_i=Q_i/O_i first reconstructs Q_i=q_iactual linked O_i; do not divide by R again after final normalization. Both handoff sides are the same measured event R/R1 kg, not another physical yield. Include only actual active operations; record and substantiate bypass.
