The objective of this study was to produce a standardized classification of fruit to be used in international trade data analysis. We made an adaptation of the FAO's commodities classification (Groups 5 and 8: nuts and fruits and derivates products). Fruits were divided into six groups: 1. Tropical Fruits + melon and watermelon; 2. Temperate Fruits; 3. Bemes; 4. Citrus; 5. Nuts + Dried Fruits; 6. Other Fruits. The classification proposed is not directly related to botanic or agronomic taxonomy. The groups proposed seek a classification of the fruits, in order to facilitate the use of available databases of international trade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
