1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers production of fresh, whole, unprocessed fruit-bearing vegetables that are classified in CPC 3.0:01239, from field or protected-cultivation establishment through managed production, harvest, optional primary conditioning, and farm-gate hand-off. The category is a residual classification leaf: the declared species, cultivar, route, production geography, crop cycle, and market state must be recorded for every dataset. Open-field and protected cultivation are both eligible when their route-specific inputs and boundary are documented.

The PCR excludes chillies and green peppers (01231), cucumbers and gherkins (01232), eggplants (01233), tomatoes (01234), pumpkins, squash and gourds (01235), all other CPC leaves, seed or transplant production for sale as planting material, processed or cut products, preservation, distribution after farm-gate transfer, retail, and consumption. A product is not moved into this residual category merely to avoid a more specific CPC classification.

The reference product identity is platform-verified against the CPC 3.0 product flow for this category; the selected UUID is retained without a dataset version. The mass flow property and mass unit group are the stable support objects for this reference flow.

When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in Required qualifiers must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field. Missing required qualifiers make the reference flow definition incomplete for that data package.

This reference UUID denotes the fresh, unprocessed farm-gate product. Verify actual species, product state and handoff before applying the binding. An independent pack-house, further-processed or otherwise incompatible output requires separately verified identity and must not inherit this UUID. Identity verification does not change the actual system boundary or quantity-normalization requirements of this PCR.

Urea fertilizer (managed_fruiting_vegetable_production_agricultural_nutrient_inputs_urea)

Collection scope and applicability for managed_fruiting_vegetable_production_agricultural_nutrient_inputs. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Collect each fertilizer product separately. Preserve each actual product identity, quantity, formulation, nutrient composition, application event, and allocation; do not count a compound product more than once. Raw activity or stage basis: per 1,000 kg marketable farm-gate output.

Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility.

Polyethylene wrapping film (flexible_primary_packaging_pe_film)

Collection scope and applicability for flexible_primary_packaging. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Flexible film, bags, wraps, or similar primary packaging are included only when supplied before farm-gate transfer. The material, mass, reuse status, and packaging loss must be reported. Raw activity or stage basis: per 1,000 kg marketable farm-gate output.

Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the UUID remains unverified. Record composition, net mass, reuse cycles and return losses; attribute reusable items by actual use and separate packaging from product mass. Keep distinct treatment destinations separate without assuming recycling credits.

Calculate only the fossil CO2 physically released by fuel combustion inside this foreground operation. For each actually burned fuel, use measured fuel mass or volume converted by documented density and net calorific value to the activity unit of its compatible combustion-only kg CO2 factor; sum fuel-specific releases, attribute once and normalize once to matched accepted final output. Preserve fossil versus biogenic carbon. Purchased electricity, purchased heat and inclusive transport or machinery-service life-cycle factors are upstream burdens, not local elementary CO2 releases. Link those supply/service datasets once; if combustion is explicitly disaggregated, exclude that same combustion from the linked dataset boundary. Do not add supply-chain CO2 or CO2-equivalent totals to this substance-mass card. Demonstrated absence of local fossil combustion makes this card inapplicable; missing records do not establish zero.

Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.

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.

requirement_idcollection_protocol_idPreserved collection scope
crop_protection_input_specific_inputcp_crop_protection_recordsOperation managed_fruiting_vegetable_production: Record the active substance or formulated crop-protection product used for the declared crop cycle, including application timing and treated area. Product identity remains a foreground resolution requirement because the broad CPC category spans multiple species. Original quantity method: Record product name, active substance, formulation, applied mass or volume, concentration, application date, and treated area.
rigid_primary_packaging_specific_inputcp_packaging_recordsOperation harvest_conditioning_and_farm_gate: Rigid containers supplied before the farm gate are recorded by material, mass, number of reuse cycles, and loss. They are not combined with flexible packaging in the same row when the material or reuse basis differs. Original quantity method: Record container mass, number, material, and reuse cycles; apply the declared allocation over service cycles.

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.

planting_material_input_identity_and_fatefield_or_site_establishmentFor the original planting_material_input collection role at this operation, identify the actual physical form, species/material, composition, state and supply/treatment boundary before creating exchanges. Each seed lot, transplant, crown, cutting, larval stage, formulation, coating, preservative or separated residue actually used/generated requires its own concrete card where relevant to this role; these examples are alternatives, not a required recipe. Retain existing collection records and route-specific source evidence. Count-based planting records require measured or supplier-supported mass-per-unit when matched to a mass-based provider; retain count and mass as linked attributes rather than two purchases. Do not merge separate husk/shell or separate agents. A real mixed stream requires composition and recipient evidence and is counted once. Before completeness, record every applicable amount and native unit, link a compatible verified UUID or explicitly unresolved identity, preserve stock/return attribution, and normalize the attributable raw quantity once to the accepted reference output. Missing records are not zero; aggregate ranges are not individual-input defaults.cp_planting_material_recordsIdentity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity recordsfao-gap-framework-2003
chemical_species_mass_accountingelementary_nutrient_emissionsFinal 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_nutrient_and_residue_records; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted outputIdentity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

Evidence applicability: cited general farm-record and postharvest frameworks do not supply crop-specific yields, lifetimes, gate cutoffs or LCA allocation defaults. Those are this PCR methodology decisions; qualify them by the actual species, route and period and obtain compatible agronomic evidence before asserting completeness. Provisional author ranges are screening aids, not empirical acceptance limits or substituted measurements.
