About citrus fruits

cpc code 0132 covers the production and trade of citrus fruits, a vital component of the global agricultural economy. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits, are widely consumed worldwide for their refreshing taste, nutritional value, and versatility in various food and beverage applications. This industry plays a significant role in the economies of many countries, particularly those with favorable climates for citrus cultivation.

Production process

The production of citrus fruits involves several key steps. Citrus trees are typically grown in orchards, where they are carefully tended to ensure optimal growth and fruit quality. Harvesting is done manually or mechanically, depending on the scale of the operation. Post-harvest processing may include sorting, grading, washing, and packaging the fruits to prepare them for distribution and consumption.

Production inputs

The citrus fruits industry requires a range of inputs, including fertile land, suitable climate conditions, water for irrigation, and specialized agricultural equipment and machinery. Citrus trees also require specific nutrients and pest control measures to ensure healthy growth and high-quality fruit production. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to manage the various stages of cultivation, harvesting, and processing.

Production outputs

The primary output of the citrus fruits industry is, of course, the citrus fruits themselves. These are consumed fresh or used as ingredients in a wide range of food and beverage products, including juices, jams, marmalades, and various desserts. The industry also generates byproducts, such as citrus peels and oils, which are used in the production of 3204 Organic surface-active agents, soap, and detergents and 3301 Essential oils and resinoids, among other applications.
