Groundnuts, excluding shelled
CPC v2.1 Code: 0142
About groundnuts, excluding shelled
cpc code 0142 covers the production and trade of groundnuts, also known as peanuts, excluding shelled varieties. Groundnuts are an important agricultural commodity, widely cultivated across the world for their nutritious seeds, which are used in a variety of food and industrial products. As a significant source of protein, oil, and other essential nutrients, the groundnut industry plays a crucial role in global food security and economic development, particularly in regions where it is a staple crop.
Production process
The production of groundnuts, excluding shelled, typically involves several key steps. Farmers begin by planting groundnut seeds or pods in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. The plants are then carefully tended, with regular watering, weeding, and pest management practices. As the groundnuts mature, the plants are harvested, often by hand or with specialized machinery. The harvested pods are then dried, cleaned, and processed for various end-uses.
Production inputs
The groundnut industry requires several key inputs for successful production. These include high-quality groundnut seeds or pods, fertile agricultural land, water for irrigation, and labor for planting, harvesting, and processing. Additionally, farmers may utilize various agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to optimize crop yields. Specialized machinery, such as planters, harvesters, and processing equipment, are also important inputs for large-scale groundnut production.
Production outputs
The primary output of the groundnut industry, as described by cpc code 0142, is the unshelled groundnut. These groundnuts can be further processed and consumed in a variety of ways, including as a source of edible oil (0422 Vegetable oils and fats), roasted and salted snacks, or as an ingredient in various food products. The groundnut industry also generates byproducts, such as groundnut shells and meal, which can be used as animal feed (0811 Prepared animal feeds) or for other industrial applications.
