About meat of pigs, fresh or chilled
cpc code 21113 covers the production and trade of fresh or chilled meat from pigs. This is a crucial industry within the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing a significant source of protein and other essential nutrients for consumers worldwide. Pig farming and pork processing are major economic activities, contributing to food security, employment, and international trade.
Production process
The production of fresh or chilled pork meat involves several key steps. Pigs are typically raised on specialized farms, where they are fed a balanced diet and cared for to ensure their health and well-being. Once the pigs reach the appropriate size and age, they are humanely slaughtered and their carcasses are processed. This includes cutting the meat into various cuts and chilling it to preserve freshness and quality.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of fresh or chilled pork meat include live pigs, feed (such as grains, soy, and other nutrients), water, and specialized equipment for slaughtering, butchering, and chilling the meat. Farms also require land, facilities, and labor to raise the pigs and manage the production process. Additionally, transportation, packaging, and cold storage infrastructure are essential for the distribution and preservation of the final product.
Production outputs
The primary output of cpc code 21113 is fresh or chilled pork meat, which can be sold to consumers directly or used as an input for other food products.
