Plantains and cooking bananas

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers fresh, unprocessed plantains and cooking bananas from the declared plantation, smallholder field, or ratoon-cycle starting condition through crop management, harvest, optional primary grading or washing, and hand-off at the declared farm-gate or pack-house gate. The semantic focus is plantain; cooking bananas are included when the cultivar or variety group and fresh product state are declared. The foreground system includes purchased inputs and services that cross the declared boundary, field residues and harvest rejects whose fate is determined before the gate, and optional primary packaging used before the gate.

It excludes planting-material production, dried, frozen, cooked, canned, flour, chips, puree, retail, consumer storage, consumption, downstream transport, unrelated land conversion, and infrastructure construction. A wash, trim, grade, bunch separation, or primary pack operation is allowed only as gate conditioning and does not change the product into a processed food. The data package shall state whether the product leaves as bunches, hands, loose fruit, or primary-packed fruit.

Required qualifiers	production geography; plantain or cooking-banana cultivar or variety group; plantation, smallholder, or multisite route; establishment or ratoon status; stand age or cycle number; planting or regrowth date; harvest dates and lot identifiers; declared gate; maturity, size, grade, and trimming state; irrigation source and method; nutrient and crop-protection basis; washing and cooling state; packaging state; field-residue, reject, and wastewater fate

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.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_shared_cycle_burden	establishment, ratoon renewal, and shared plantation services	Allocate shared establishment and plantation burdens across the declared productive cycles using one declared physical basis, preferably attributed marketable output mass or area-time; disclose the basis and any excluded idle period.	fao-plantain-postharvest-training-manual-1998; globalgap-ifa-fruit-vegetables-v6
allocation_mixed_cultivar_output	fields or harvest campaigns producing plantain and cooking-banana outputs	Keep cultivar or variety groups and market states separate where records allow. If a shared operation cannot be separated, allocate it by recorded marketable output mass and report the mixed-output condition.	fao-plantain-postharvest-compendium-2011
allocation_residue_recovery	recovered organic material, feed use, compost, or mulch	Do not assign a co-product credit to field return, unmanaged decay, or undocumented use. A recovered product requires a measured output, documented destination and function, and a declared allocation or substitution rule.	ipcc-2019-refinement-afolu

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.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_residual_precedence	remaining common burden with no specified primary branch	Resolve any study-specific joint-product instruction in this PCR that has no specified primary branch using this precedence; retain an already explicitly prescribed category-specific primary method. First directly assign separable output-specific activities. For the remaining common burden B, use a physical driver d_i only when measured operation or biological-service records demonstrate the causal consumption represented by that driver. A product being weighable, valuable or lower grade alone is insufficient; do not switch arbitrarily between area, time, mass and revenue. For comparable grades receiving the same common handling, measured processed mass is applicable only with the same service demand, state and moisture basis demonstrated. Share a_i=d_i/sum(d_j); B_i=Ba_i. If no defensible causal physical driver exists for that common operation, use gate- and period-matched economic shares a_i=(q_ip_i)/sum(q_j*p_j), with the complete independently intended output set, compatible quantity/price units, currency, representative prices and values before output-specific downstream processing. Missing price or denominator evidence makes the allocated result incomplete, not a zero-priced product or a single-output system. Report shares summing to one and sensitivity to a material alternative; an alternative is not an interchangeable primary result. Waste, retained residues and internal transfers receive no co-product share, while their attributable production/handling burdens remain with the producing saleable route. Retain unallocated physical quantities and mass balances separately. This branch gives no automatic substitution credit; any separately scoped substitution analysis retains the gross inventory and its actual displaced-function evidence.	ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011

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_id	collection_protocol_id	Preserved collection scope
crop_protection_input_specific_input	cp_crop_protection_records	Operation managed_plantain_crop_cycle: Record each crop-protection product or active ingredient used for the represented cycle, including target, rate, application date, and method. Original quantity method: Sum supplier product quantity and, where available, calculate active-ingredient mass from the documented formulation.
field_energy_input_specific_input	cp_field_energy_records	Operation managed_plantain_crop_cycle: Record fuel used by machinery and vehicles for field preparation, crop operations, pumping, and other managed crop-cycle activities inside the boundary. Original quantity method: Sum fuel receipts, tank records, or machine-hour calculations assigned to the represented crop cycle and disclose shared-equipment allocation.
primary_packaging_input_specific_input	cp_packaging_records	Operation plantain_harvest_and_gate_handling: Record primary packaging used before the declared gate, including its material, mass or item count, reuse state, and losses. Original quantity method: Record package mass or item count, capacity, tare, reuse cycles, and loss rate for the represented harvest campaign.

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.

This is a mandatory specific-input collection requirement, not a selected exchange. Identify every actual formulation, carrier or independently supplied service from primary records, with physical identity, state, native quantity and supplier specifications. Create a separate concrete card for each actual input before dataset completeness; verify a compatible UUID or explicitly retain its unresolved identity. Product mass and contained active-substance mass are different ledgers: convert only using documented composition and never count both as two purchases. Finished feed and separately added ingredients must not duplicate its recipe. Distinguish fuel purchase, purchased electricity/heat and inclusive machinery services; charge only their actual boundaries once. Preserve the original operation, period, attribution and final-output normalization.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
calc_output_normalization	all inventory rows	normalized amount = recorded amount × 1,000 kg / marketable fresh gate output (kg)	recorded amount; marketable gate output	amount per 1,000 kg reference output	fao-plantain-postharvest-compendium-2011
calc_nutrient_basis	nutrient_amendment_total_input	nutrient mass = documented product mass × documented nutrient fraction; retain product mass and nutrient basis as separate fields	product mass; label, supplier specification, nutrient plan, or laboratory result	kg product and kg nutrient basis	ipcc-2019-refinement-afolu
calc_cycle_allocation	shared establishment, machinery, irrigation, energy, and conditioning records	allocated amount = shared record × declared physical allocation fraction; use marketable output mass or area-time and disclose the choice	shared record; allocation basis; product or cycle output	crop-cycle amount	globalgap-ifa-fruit-vegetables-v6
calc_harvest_reconciliation	marketable_output; rejected_fruit_output; field_residue_output	total recorded harvest = marketable output + rejected or trimmed fruit + field residue or other documented loss; investigate unexplained difference	lot weights; residue and reject records; loss record	reconciled harvest and loss balance	fao-plantain-postharvest-compendium-2011
calc_water_reconciliation	irrigation_water_input; irrigation_withdrawal	source withdrawal = delivered irrigation + documented return flow + documented distribution loss; use only measured or declared site-specific factors	source meter; delivery meter; return flow; loss factor	irrigation delivery and withdrawal	globalgap-ifa-fruit-vegetables-v6
calc_emission_pathway	soil, nutrient, residue, and water-emission rows	apply one declared emissions method to the documented input and receiving-medium basis; do not combine overlapping default factors	nutrient and residue records; method; site factors	pathway-specific elementary flow amount	ipcc-2019-refinement-afolu
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_emission_calculation_records; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records
