How we know
The receipts.
Every number is sourced and tiered. We grade our own confidence so you don't have to take our word for it.
How much is hard-sourced
49% Tier 1–249% of this breakdown rests on hard data — GST schedule, live mandi prices, trade + filings. The rest is a category-typical estimate from an unreviewed draft template — treat it as directional, not gospel.
TIER 12
Hard government data
GST notifications, import data, tariffs
TIER 20
Verified industry
Company filings, audited reports
