"I had to start learning about crops, the difference between liter A and liter C. How health surveillance works, their identification registry as rural workers and farmers, their income tax."

The job at hand is to edit a paper which looks like a touch up of a GT (or possibly Bing) BR-PT > EN-US translation. Any guesses on 'liter A and liter C'? TIA

Reference information:
This sounds like a tough mission. Have you tried reverse engineering? If this has been done in GT or Bing, maybe the text will make some sense if translated back to Portuguese using these 2 tools.

The author is telling what he had to learn in order be able to do that task.
The part "the difference between liter A and liter C" in a way is just an example of technical issues he had to go through. Then it has very little importance for the text. It is just an example. If it is omitted it won't be the end of the world, I guess.
