Molluscs live, fresh or chilled

CPC v2.1 Code: 044

About molluscs live, fresh or chilled

cpc code 044 covers the import and export of live, fresh or chilled molluscs. Molluscs are a diverse group of invertebrate animals that include clams, oysters, mussels, and squid, among others. This industry plays a significant role in the global food supply, providing a valuable source of protein, minerals, and other essential nutrients. The trade in live, fresh, or chilled molluscs is an important component of the broader seafood industry, which is a crucial part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of live, fresh, or chilled molluscs typically involves a combination of aquaculture and wild harvesting. In aquaculture, molluscs are cultivated in controlled environments, such as coastal waters or inland ponds, where they are carefully monitored and managed to ensure optimal growth and quality. Wild harvesting involves the collection of molluscs from their natural habitats, such as coastal waters, estuaries, and riverbeds, using a variety of techniques, including dredging, diving, and hand-picking.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of live, fresh, or chilled molluscs include the molluscs themselves, which can be sourced from aquaculture or wild harvesting, as well as water, feed, and various equipment and infrastructure, such as boats, processing facilities, and storage units. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including farmers, fishermen, and processing personnel, to ensure the efficient and sustainable production of these products.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 044 is live, fresh, or chilled molluscs, which can be consumed directly or used as inputs for other industries. These molluscs may be exported to 0311 Fish, live, 0312 Fish, fresh or chilled, or 0321 Crustaceans, not frozen, where they can be further processed or incorporated into a variety of seafood products.
