Strawberries

CPC v2.1 Code: 01354

About strawberries

cpc code 01354 covers the production of strawberries, a highly popular and versatile fruit that is widely consumed globally. Strawberries are an important agricultural commodity, with significant economic and nutritional value. They are a key ingredient in many food and beverage products, and their cultivation plays a vital role in the broader agricultural sector.

Production process

Strawberries are typically grown on specialized farms or plantations. The production process involves planting strawberry seedlings or runners, which are then carefully tended to ensure optimal growth conditions. This includes managing soil quality, irrigation, and pest control. Strawberries are often grown in raised beds or on plastic-covered rows to improve drainage and protect the fruit from soil-borne diseases. Harvesting is done manually, with workers carefully picking the ripe berries by hand to ensure their delicate nature is preserved.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for strawberry production include fertile soil, water for irrigation, and various agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. Specialized farming equipment, such as tillers, planters, and harvesting machinery, are also essential. Additionally, labor is a significant input, as strawberry cultivation is highly labor-intensive, particularly during the harvesting season.
