Crustaceans, live, fresh or chilled

CPC v2.1 Code: 043

About crustaceans, live, fresh or chilled

cpc code 043 covers the import and export of live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans, a vital component of the global seafood trade. Crustaceans, such as shrimp, lobster, and crab, are highly sought-after delicacies in many cuisines around the world, making this industry an important contributor to the broader food and beverage sector. The trade in live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans supports livelihoods for fishermen, processors, and distributors, while also providing consumers with access to high-quality, nutritious seafood products.

Production process

The production of live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans typically involves a combination of fishing, aquaculture, and processing techniques. Fishermen use a variety of methods, such as trawling, trapping, and diving, to capture crustaceans in their natural habitats. Aquaculture operations, on the other hand, focus on the controlled breeding and rearing of crustaceans in specialized facilities. Once harvested, the crustaceans are carefully handled, packaged, and transported to ensure they remain fresh and in optimal condition for consumption.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans include fishing or aquaculture equipment, such as boats, nets, traps, and hatcheries; processing and packaging materials, such as ice, containers, and labeling; and transportation infrastructure, such as refrigerated trucks and cargo ships. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including fishermen, aquaculture technicians, and processing plant workers, as well as access to clean water and suitable habitats for crustacean populations to thrive.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 043 is live, fresh, or chilled crustaceans, which are then consumed directly or used as inputs for other industries. These crustaceans may be exported to 011 Fish, crustaceans and molluscs or 012 Meat and meat preparations for further processing, or they may be sold directly to 631 Passenger transport services or 632 Freight transport services for distribution to restaurants, retailers, and consumers.
