French term or phrase:on raisonne en camp et non en année civile
Hi there,
I have translated this as follows except for "camp"...could anyone help me w/this? I really appreciate it..
It is necessary, however, to note that, due to a harvest lag, a large part of our exports were made in 2009 (we are thinking in camp and not in calendar year) - merci bcp
Explanation: I'm pretty sure 'camp' it's an abbreviation for "campagne", though I'm suddenly less sure about how to translate this. I think "season" is probably best; ie they are referring to one crop cycle (which may go by a specific year which does not correspond exactly to the calendar year of the cycle). I realise your text probably doesn't deal with fish but the example was the first vaguely appropriate one I could find.

posted this suggestion before writeaway's discussion entry on "crop seasons" appeared, at least here, so we now appear to have arrived at the same answer independently.

I think that you might be right. Do you think that if it were "en champ", that it could mean "overall" or allude to a "field" as in agriculture? Thanks so much.
