Pulses (dried leguminous vegetables)

CPC v2.1 Code: 017

About pulses (dried leguminous vegetables)

cpc code 017 covers the industry of pulses, which are dried leguminous vegetables. Pulses are an important source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients, making them a crucial part of the global food supply. This industry plays a significant role in the broader agricultural economy, providing raw materials for a wide range of food and industrial products.

Production process

The production of pulses typically involves harvesting, drying, and processing the leguminous crops. Farmers cultivate various pulse crops, such as lentils, peas, and beans, using traditional farming methods or advanced agricultural techniques. After harvesting, the crops are dried to reduce moisture content, often through natural sun-drying or mechanical drying processes. The dried pulses are then cleaned, sorted, and sometimes processed further, such as splitting or milling, to prepare them for various end-uses.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the pulses industry include arable land, water, and agricultural machinery for cultivation and harvesting. Farmers also rely on seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides to ensure healthy crop growth. Additionally, the industry requires processing equipment, such as drying facilities, sorting machines, and packaging materials, to prepare the pulses for distribution and consumption.

Production outputs

The primary output of the pulses industry is the dried leguminous vegetables themselves, which are consumed as food, used as ingredients in various food products, or utilized as animal feed. The pulses produced under cpc code 017 may be further processed and consumed by industries covered under other codes, such as 0111 Cereals and other crops n.e.c. and 1061 Grain mill products. The pulses industry also generates by-products, such as pulse husks and powders, which can be used in the production of animal feed or industrial applications.
