The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 03249 materials include the plant species themselves, which may be grown from seed or propagated vegetatively. Growers also require access to suitable growing media, such as soil or hydroponic substrates, as well as water, fertilizers, and other agricultural inputs. Specialized equipment for harvesting, processing, and packaging the materials may also be necessary, depending on the scale and nature of the operation.
