Coffee, green

cpc code 01610 covers the industry of green coffee production, a vital component of the global coffee trade. Coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, with green coffee beans serving as the raw material for the production of roasted and ground coffee. This industry plays a crucial role in the economies of many coffee-producing countries, providing employment and income for millions of farmers and workers.

The production of green coffee involves several key steps. After harvesting the coffee cherries, the beans are separated from the fruit and undergo a drying process, either through sun-drying or mechanical drying. The dried beans are then hulled to remove the outer layers, leaving the green coffee beans. Finally, the beans are sorted, graded, and prepared for export or further processing.

The main inputs required for the green coffee industry include coffee cherries, which are the raw material, as well as machinery and equipment for harvesting, drying, hulling, and sorting the beans. Additionally, labor, transportation, and storage facilities are essential inputs for this industry.

The primary output of the green coffee industry is, of course, green coffee beans.
