Farmed seaweeds and other algae, fresh, frozen or dried, whether or not ground, unfit for human consumption

CPC v2.1 Code: 04934

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

cpc code 04934 covers the production and trade of farmed seaweeds and other algae that are not suitable for human consumption. This industry plays a vital role in the broader agricultural and marine sectors, providing raw materials for a range of industrial and agricultural applications. Seaweeds and algae are cultivated globally, with major production centers located in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Production process

Seaweeds and algae under this code are typically cultivated using aquaculture techniques. This involves growing the organisms in controlled marine or freshwater environments, such as ponds, tanks, or offshore farms. The cultivation process often includes seeding, monitoring water quality, and harvesting the mature biomass. Depending on the end-use, the harvested seaweeds and algae may be further processed through drying, grinding, or other methods.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of farmed seaweeds and algae under cpc code 04934 include the seeding stock or starter cultures, water resources (marine or freshwater), nutrients, and specialized aquaculture equipment such as tanks, ponds, or offshore farming infrastructure. Additionally, labor, energy, and transportation services are important inputs for the cultivation, harvesting, and distribution of these products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the harvested seaweeds and algae, which can be sold fresh, frozen, or dried. These products may be used as 04935 Seaweeds and other algae, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not ground, fit for human consumption or further processed for industrial applications, such as the production of 35995 Agar-agar and other mucilages and thickeners derived from vegetable products, 35996 Alginates and other products derived from seaweeds or other algae, or animal feed ingredients.
