Each bag carries the harvest code, so a sack can be traced to its pan.
Pan owners ask
Can a pan owner hide a bad harvest?
No. Every harvest is a line, and a weak yield stays visible.
Who checks the weights?
The pan's group keeper signs at the edge, and a buyer can request a sample weigh.
Is the price on the record?
No. Prices stay in the buyer's own invoice.
