CPC v2.1 Code: 01599

About other edible roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, n.e.c.

cpc code 01599 covers a diverse range of edible roots and tubers that are high in starch or inulin content. These crops play a vital role in global food security, serving as important sources of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and other essential nutrients. While not as widely cultivated as major staple crops like 01111 Wheat, 01112 (Maize (corn)), or 01113 Rice, the products under this code contribute significantly to the agricultural economies of many regions, particularly in developing nations.

Production process

The production techniques for crops under cpc code 01599 vary depending on the specific root or tuber, but generally involve planting, cultivating, and harvesting. Many are grown from vegetative propagules like tubers, rhizomes, or stem cuttings. Careful management of soil fertility, moisture, and pest control is required throughout the growing season. Harvesting is often done manually or with specialized machinery, and post-harvest processing may include washing, drying, and storage to prepare the products for market.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of crops under cpc code 01599 include agricultural land, water for irrigation, fertilizers, and labor. Depending on the crop, specialized equipment like planters, harvesters, and processing machinery may also be required. Seeds or planting materials are a critical input, which are often sourced from previous harvests or specialized suppliers. Climate and environmental conditions play a significant role, as many of these crops are adapted to tropical or subtropical regions.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 01599 are the edible roots, tubers, and other underground storage organs themselves, which are consumed fresh, processed into food products, or used as animal feed. Some of the key crops in this category include cassava, yams, taro, and certain types of sweet potatoes. The outputs of this industry may be further processed or used as inputs for other industries, such as 10611 Prepared and preserved potatoes or 10620 Starches and starch products.
