About cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers, raw

cpc code 01655 covers the raw, unprocessed form of cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers. Cinnamon is a highly valued spice derived from the inner bark of several species of evergreen trees in the genus Cinnamomum. It is one of the oldest and most widely used spices in the world, with a rich history dating back thousands of years. The cinnamon industry plays a significant role in the global spice trade, contributing to the culinary, medicinal, and fragrance industries across the world.

Production process

The production of raw cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers involves the harvesting and processing of the plant material. Cinnamon is typically harvested by cutting the tree's stems and peeling off the outer bark, revealing the fragrant inner bark. The inner bark is then dried, rolled, and cut into cinnamon sticks or ground into powder. Cinnamon-tree flowers are harvested directly from the tree and may undergo minimal processing before being sold in their raw form.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers include the cinnamon trees themselves, which are typically grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Specialized harvesting and processing equipment, such as knives, peelers, and drying racks, are also necessary. Additionally, labor and transportation infrastructure are important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs
