Source, interpretation and review limits
Based on the user’s existing Ministry of Agriculture economic source file, “אבטיח לגרעינים לפיצוח בעל 2024.xlsx”, updated 15 January 2024, and pilot record IL-MOA-ECON-P10R-001 (June 2026).
The imported v10 wrapper contains generic wheat calendar and activity examples. They are excluded from this watermelon demo. Its 145-day template duration is also excluded; the original economic worksheet states 110 days. Sowing and harvest windows are reproduced separately and have not been reconciled with that duration.
Worksheet output assumptions: 35 × ₪13.50 = ₪472.50. Growing cost ₪336.8663; modeled contribution ₪135.6337. Source timing, units, cost scope, cultivar and local applicability require expert verification before operational use.
