Oysters are a vital component of the broader 0440 Molluscs, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine industry, which plays a significant role in international trade and the global food supply chain.

Production process

Oysters are typically harvested from natural beds or cultivated in aquaculture facilities. The production process involves carefully monitoring water quality, temperature, and other environmental factors to ensure the optimal growth and health of the oysters. Harvesting is done by hand or with specialized equipment, and the oysters are then carefully handled and transported to maintain their freshness and quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of live, fresh or chilled oysters (cpc code 0442) include clean, nutrient-rich seawater, specialized aquaculture equipment such as oyster beds or cages, and skilled labor to manage the cultivation and harvesting processes. Additionally, transportation infrastructure and logistics play a crucial role in ensuring the timely delivery of the oysters to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 0442 is live, fresh or chilled oysters, which are consumed directly as a delicacy or used as an ingredient in various seafood dishes and preparations. The output of this industry may be further processed and traded under other 0440 Molluscs, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine codes, such as 0441 Oysters, frozen, 0443 Oysters, dried, salted or in brine, or 0449 Other molluscs, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine.
