About reptiles

cpc code 02195 covers the production and trade of reptiles, a diverse group of cold-blooded vertebrates that play a vital role in many ecosystems around the world. Reptiles are an important part of the global import/export economy, with significant demand for both live animals and reptile-derived products such as leather, meat, and traditional medicines. This industry supports livelihoods, provides valuable resources, and contributes to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of reptiles typically involves specialized breeding and rearing facilities. Reptile breeders carefully manage environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and lighting to mimic the natural habitats of different species. Hatchlings are often raised in controlled environments before being sold or exported. Some reptile production also involves the harvesting of wild-caught specimens, which is regulated to ensure sustainability.

Production inputs

Key inputs for the reptile industry include specialized enclosures, feeding equipment, veterinary supplies, and skilled labor to care for the animals. Reptile producers also require access to genetic stock, either through breeding their own animals or obtaining specimens from other sources. Depending on the species, reptile production may also rely on the availability of specific food sources, such as insects, small mammals, or plant matter.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the reptile industry are live animals for the pet trade, as well as reptile-derived products like leather, meat, and traditional medicines. Reptile products may be consumed by a variety of other industries, including 19120 Leather Tanning and Finishing, 10850 Meat Processing, and 21093 Pharmaceutical Preparations.
