About pulses (dried leguminous vegetables)

cpc code 0170 covers the production and trade of pulses, which are dried leguminous vegetables. Pulses are an important source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients, making them a crucial component 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 several key steps. Farmers first cultivate and harvest the leguminous crops, such as lentils, peas, and beans. The harvested crops are then dried, cleaned, and sorted to remove any impurities or damaged items. In some cases, the pulses may undergo further processing, such as splitting or milling, to produce various forms of the final product.

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, processing facilities, storage infrastructure, and transportation networks are essential for the efficient distribution of pulses to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of the pulses industry is the dried leguminous vegetables themselves, which are consumed as a food source or used as ingredients in a variety of food products. Pulses may also be used as animal feed or as a raw material for industrial applications, such as the production of 2023 Vegetable oils and fats or 2024 Oilcake and other solid residues.
