Production quantities do not match source

[edit]

The source link for 2019 production quantities states that the numbers given are a combination of three fruits, however the article presents these numbers as global production of guavas only.

The information below is based on the FAO code 0571 (Mangoes, guavas and mangosteens).

I suggest updating the article to match the format in the Mango Article and clarifying that the production quantity is a combination of all three fruits. 50.249.241.134 (talk) 14:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good point. I think the original 2019 edit for guavas using the Tridge data was done because the entry is only for guavas (not with mangoes and mangosteens included). It's unfortunate the FAOSTAT report includes all three fruits, giving no specific data for any one.
I've assumed this occurs because the three fruits are collectively reported (maybe harvested together?) in individual countries. But FAOSTAT is official (and not commercially motivated, like Tridge is), and used across Wikipedia articles for crop production. I will revise the production data for 2022 using a similar format as for mangoes. Thanks for raising the issue. Zefr (talk) 17:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
