CPC v2.1 Code: 0152
About cassava
cpc code 0152 covers the production of cassava, a starchy root crop that is a staple food in many parts of the world. Cassava is a crucial agricultural commodity, particularly in developing countries, where it serves as a source of calories, income, and employment for millions of people. As a versatile crop, cassava has a wide range of applications, from food and animal feed to industrial uses, making it an important component of the global agricultural economy.
Production process
The production of cassava involves several key steps. Farmers typically begin by planting cassava stem cuttings, which then grow into mature plants with large, starchy roots. The roots are harvested, usually by hand, and then processed to remove the toxic compounds found in the raw cassava. Common processing methods include peeling, grating, and drying the roots to produce cassava flour, starch, or other cassava-based products.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for cassava production include fertile soil, adequate rainfall or irrigation, and planting materials such as cassava stem cuttings. Farmers may also use fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural inputs to optimize yields. Additionally, cassava processing requires equipment such as graters, presses, and drying facilities to transform the raw roots into finished products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the cassava industry are cassava roots, flour, starch, and other processed products. These outputs are used in a variety of applications, including 0122 Food products, 1061 Starches and starch products, and 1083 Animal feeds.
