Tropical and subtropical fruits

CPC v2.1 Code: 0131

About tropical and subtropical fruits

cpc code 0131 covers the production and processing of a wide range of tropical and subtropical fruits. These fruits play a vital role in the global food supply, providing essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The industry is particularly important in developing economies, where these fruits are often a significant agricultural export and a source of income for smallholder farmers. Within the broader economy, the 0131 industry supports various downstream sectors, including food processing, logistics, and retail.

Production process

The production of tropical and subtropical fruits typically involves a combination of cultivation, harvesting, and post-harvest handling techniques. Growers often utilize irrigation, pest management, and pruning methods to optimize fruit quality and yield. Harvesting is usually done by hand, with careful handling to minimize damage. Post-harvest processing may include cleaning, sorting, packaging, and in some cases, further processing such as juicing or drying.

Production inputs

The 0131 industry requires a range of inputs, including fertile land, water for irrigation, and suitable climatic conditions. Growers also rely on agricultural machinery, such as tractors and harvesting equipment, as well as various agro-chemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is another critical input, particularly during peak harvesting seasons.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 0131 industry are the various tropical and subtropical fruits themselves, such as 0131 Tropical and subtropical fruits, 0122 Citrus fruits, and 0123 Grapes. These fruits are often consumed fresh or used as inputs in the production of juices, jams, and other food products. The industry's outputs may also be used in the manufacture of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other non-food applications.
