About farmed seaweeds and other algae, fresh, frozen or dried, whether or not ground, fit for human consumption

cpc code 04932 covers the production and trade of farmed seaweeds and other algae that are fit for human consumption. Seaweeds and algae are an important source of nutrients and have a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a sustainable and renewable source of nutrients and biomass.

Production process

Seaweeds and algae are typically cultivated in coastal or offshore aquaculture facilities. The main production techniques involve growing the organisms in controlled environments, such as ponds, tanks, or open-water farms. The seaweeds and algae are harvested, processed, and prepared for distribution and consumption. This may include steps like drying, freezing, or grinding the biomass to meet specific market requirements.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the seaweed and algae production industry under cpc code 04932 include the seaweed or algae species, aquaculture facilities and equipment, nutrient-rich water, and labor for cultivation, harvesting, and processing. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as drying units, freezers, and grinding mills, are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the seaweed and algae industry covered by cpc code 04932 are fresh, frozen, or dried seaweeds and algae that are fit for human consumption. These products can be used as ingredients in a variety of food and beverage items, as well as in the production of dietary supplements, cosmetics, and other consumer goods. The outputs of this industry may also be used as inputs for 04931 Seaweeds and other algae, fresh, frozen or dried, whether or not ground, not fit for human consumption or 23930 Seaweed and other algae, in primary forms, depending on the specific end-use and processing requirements.
