About fish live, fresh or chilled for human consumption

cpc code 042 covers the import and export of live, fresh, or chilled fish for human consumption. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a crucial source of protein and nutrition. As a highly traded commodity, the fish industry is an important contributor to international trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of live, fresh, or chilled fish for human consumption involves a range of techniques, including fishing, aquaculture, and post-harvest handling. Commercial fishing operations use various methods such as trawling, purse seining, and long-lining to catch wild fish. Aquaculture facilities, on the other hand, farm fish in controlled environments, utilizing techniques like net pens, recirculating systems, and pond-based cultivation. Post-harvest handling involves processes like sorting, grading, and temperature-controlled storage to ensure the fish remains fresh and of high quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the fish industry under cpc code 042 include fishing vessels, aquaculture equipment, fishing gear, and specialized transportation and storage infrastructure. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including fishermen, aquaculture technicians, and logistics personnel. 0811 Fish and other fishing products, 2921 Machinery for food, beverage and tobacco processing, and 5221 Services incidental to water transportation are some of the other codes that provide key inputs to this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the fish industry under cpc code 042 is live, fresh, or chilled fish for human consumption. These fish products are then consumed directly or used as inputs for various food processing industries, such as 0421 Fish, dried, salted or in brine; smoked fish, 0422 Fish, frozen, and 1512 Prepared and preserved fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
