Fruit seeds

cpc code 01360 covers the production and trade of fruit seeds, a crucial component in the global agricultural industry. Fruit seeds are the small, hard-shelled structures found within many types of fruits, containing the embryo and nutrients necessary for the germination and growth of new plants. These seeds are in high demand worldwide, serving as a vital source of planting material for a wide range of fruit and vegetable crops.

The production of fruit seeds typically involves harvesting the mature fruits, extracting the seeds, and then drying, cleaning, and processing them for storage and distribution. Depending on the specific fruit type, various techniques may be employed, such as manual extraction, mechanical separation, or even fermentation processes to remove the pulp and prepare the seeds for further processing.

The main inputs required for the fruit seed industry include the raw fruit material, which is sourced from 01110 Cereals, 01120 Vegetables and melons, and 01130 Citrus fruits, among other agricultural sectors. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery for seed extraction and processing, as well as storage facilities, packaging materials, and transportation infrastructure to distribute the final products.

The primary output of the fruit seed industry is, of course, the seeds themselves, which are then sold and distributed to 01110 Cereals, 01120 Vegetables and melons, 01130 Citrus fruits, and other agricultural sectors for use as planting material. The seeds may also be further processed into oils, flours, or other value-added products for use in the food, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical industries.
