5 Group figures are unsatisfactory because the proportions of the different kinds vary widely within areas and the fruits are dissimilar in many respects (for example, compare apples, avocados and watermelons). Thus, group figures should be applied only to quantities of unspecified kinds, i.e., the residual supply, after making separate estimates for the principal kinds.

For purposes of this classification, temperate areas are considered as those in which citrus fruits are grown little it at all; generally, the areas having an average winter temperature (January, northern hemisphere; July, southern hemisphere) below 10°C. Subtropical areas are ones in which citrus fruits and figs are more plentiful, generally having a corresponding winter temperature between 10°C. and 16°C. Tropical areas are those having higher than 16°C. average winter temperature.

Fruits assigned the highest percentage in developing the weighted averages for these areas are, with approximate percentages:

Temperate - apples, 40%; pears, 18%; peaches, 12%; plums, 10%.
Subtropical - apples, 20%; fresh figs, 12%; peaches, 10%-; mangoes, 8%; pineapples. 8%.
Tropical - watermelons. 19%; papayas, 19%; pineapples, 11%; breadfruit, jackfruit, monkey fruit, 10%.
