Wheat

CPC v2.1 Code: 0111

About wheat

cpc code 0111 covers the production of wheat, a staple cereal grain that is a fundamental component of the global food supply. Wheat is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world, with major production centers located across North America, Europe, and Asia. As a key raw material for the production of bread, pasta, and other essential food products, the wheat industry plays a vital role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of wheat involves several key steps. First, wheat seeds are planted and grown in suitable climates and soil conditions. The crop is then harvested, typically using mechanical combines that cut, thresh, and clean the wheat grains. After harvesting, the wheat may undergo further processing, such as drying, storage, and milling to produce flour or other wheat-based products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for wheat production include arable land, water for irrigation, agricultural machinery and equipment, fertilizers, and pesticides. Wheat also requires specific climatic conditions, such as moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall, to thrive. Additionally, wheat production relies on a skilled agricultural workforce to manage the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the wheat industry is the wheat grain itself, which is then used as a raw material for the production of a wide range of food products, including 2051 Bread, 2053 Pasta, and 2099 Other food products. Wheat is also used as animal feed, and its byproducts, such as wheat bran and wheat germ, are used in various food and non-food applications.
