Geography
Upstream inputs are modeled as a global proxy background because no country/region for clove production or input supply is specified in the provided context. If the target market is known (e.g., Indonesia, Madagascar, Tanzania, China), replace with country-specific fertilizer/pesticide/diesel/electricity datasets. · Area not specified

Technology description
Production of raw whole-stem cloves as a harvested crop at farm gate via a conventional orchard/perennial crop system: upstream manufacture of agricultural inputs → on-farm field operations (fertilization, pest control, irrigation where used, machinery) → on-field emissions → harvest and on-farm handling to deliver fresh, unprocessed cloves at the farm gate.; Upstream/background production of major agro-inputs used in conventional perennial/orchard crop cultivation (e.g., N/P/K fertilizers, plant protection products, diesel, and electricity) compiled as a delivered 'input package' to enable a consistent cradle-to-farm-gate chain for raw cloves when clove-specific LCI is not provided. Structure follows generic agricultural LCA foreground/background separation noted for orchard crops and similar systems (fertilizer/pesticide/energy inputs feeding a cultivation stage).; Route is constrained to a cradle-to-farm-gate boundary consistent with the flow's 'Production mix, at farm gate' and 'Fresh, unprocessed produce'.; Because no clove-specific LCI is provided in the primary cluster, the process structure follows generic agricultural LCA chains (inputs → on-farm operations → on-field emissions → harvest).; Irrigation, pesticide use, and mechanization intensity are modeled as scenario-dependent within the same route family (present/absent), without changing the farm-gate boundary.
