About peas, dry
cpc code 01705 covers the production and trade of dry peas, an important agricultural commodity with a significant role in the global food supply chain. Dry peas are a versatile legume crop, widely cultivated for their nutritional value, ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, and use in a variety of food and animal feed products. As a staple ingredient in many cuisines around the world, the dry pea industry is a crucial component of the broader agricultural economy.
Production process
The production of dry peas typically involves several key steps. Farmers begin by planting pea seeds, often in rotation with other crops, to leverage the nitrogen-fixing properties of the pea plant. Once the peas have matured, they are harvested using specialized machinery that separates the pea pods from the plant. The peas are then dried, either naturally or through mechanical drying processes, to reduce their moisture content and prepare them for storage and distribution.
Production inputs
The dry pea industry relies on several key inputs, including fertile agricultural land, suitable climate conditions, and access to high-quality pea seeds. Farmers also require machinery for planting, harvesting, and processing the peas, as well as storage facilities to maintain the quality of the dried peas. Additionally, the industry may utilize various agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to optimize crop yields and manage pests and diseases.
Production outputs
The primary output of the dry pea industry is, of course, the dried peas themselves. These peas can be used in a wide range of food products, including soups, stews, curries, and vegetarian dishes. They are also a common ingredient in animal feed, particularly for livestock such as 01921 Poultry and 01922 Livestock. Additionally, the pea plant's ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen can make it a valuable component in crop rotation systems, contributing to the overall productivity of agricultural land.
