So…
If you click on the little 2 at the end of:
“The codes are administered by the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), a global coalition of fruit and vegetable associations that was formed in 2001 to introduce PLU numbers globally.[2]”
Scroll down to members. I counted 14 organization from at least 11 countries. So yeah , even the 20 was a streach.
This is what I ment. Sorry if it was not clear.
About the other thing, it is subjective. I would not consider something effecting less then 10% of the countries a global thing. But you do have a point there.
10% of countries is still a large population, and given the list, a large portion of globally traded food.
You also didn’t factor in GS1 being a member, which serves 115 countries. Surely all of them aren’t also using PLU, but they wouldn’t be a member if some portion of their base wasn’t.
After going down the rabbit hole, too, I wish they just had a clear country listing vs having to read about the members. So dumb.
