About sunflower seed
cpc code 01445 covers the production and processing of sunflower seeds, a vital agricultural commodity with a wide range of applications. Sunflower seeds are an important source of vegetable oil, protein-rich animal feed, and various food products. This industry plays a significant role in the global agricultural economy, contributing to food security and the production of renewable energy sources.
Production process
The production of sunflower seeds involves several key steps. Farmers first prepare the soil and plant sunflower seeds, which are then cultivated and harvested. The harvested sunflower heads are then dried, and the seeds are extracted, cleaned, and processed. Depending on the intended use, the seeds may undergo further processing, such as oil extraction, roasting, or dehulling.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the sunflower seed industry include arable land, sunflower seed varieties, agricultural machinery (e.g., tractors, harvesters), fertilizers, and water for irrigation. Additionally, the industry relies on transportation infrastructure and energy sources to facilitate the movement and processing of the seeds.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the sunflower seed industry are sunflower oil, sunflower meal (a protein-rich animal feed), and whole or processed sunflower seeds for human consumption. The sunflower oil and meal may be further processed or used as inputs for other industries, such as 20411 Manufacture of oils and fats and 10920 Manufacture of prepared animal feeds.
