About pigeon peas, dry

cpc code 01707 covers the industry of pigeon peas, a type of legume that is widely cultivated and consumed globally. Pigeon peas are an important source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients, making them a staple food in many regions. This industry plays a significant role in the agricultural sector and contributes to food security and economic development, particularly in developing countries where pigeon peas are a major crop.

Production process

The production of pigeon peas typically involves several key steps. Farmers begin by preparing the soil and planting the seeds, often in rotation with other crops to maintain soil fertility. As the plants grow, they require regular watering and weeding to ensure optimal growth. Harvesting is usually done manually or with the aid of specialized machinery, and the peas are then dried, cleaned, and sorted before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the pigeon pea industry include arable land, water for irrigation, and agricultural machinery for planting, harvesting, and processing. Farmers also rely on high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides to ensure a healthy and productive crop. Additionally, labor is a significant input, as much of the work in this industry is still done manually, particularly in developing countries.

Production outputs

The primary output of the pigeon pea industry is the dried peas themselves, which are consumed as a food staple or used as an ingredient in various dishes. The peas can also be processed into other products, such as flour or canned goods. The industry's outputs may be consumed by 01701 Beans, dry, 01702 Lentils, and 01703 Chickpeas, dry, as these legumes are often used interchangeably in culinary applications.
