About meat of poultry, fresh or chilled

cpc code 2112 covers the production and trade of fresh or chilled meat from poultry. Poultry meat is a staple protein source globally, with significant economic and nutritional importance. This industry is a key component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries.

Production process

The production of poultry meat typically involves raising chickens, turkeys, ducks, or other birds in specialized farms. After the birds reach maturity, they are humanely slaughtered, plucked, and the meat is harvested. The carcasses are then chilled or frozen to preserve freshness before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the poultry meat industry include live birds, feed, water, and specialized equipment for housing, slaughtering, and processing. Farms require land, infrastructure, and labor to raise the birds. Processing facilities need machinery for cutting, packaging, and cold storage of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2112 is fresh or chilled poultry meat, which is then consumed directly or used as an ingredient in a variety of food products. The meat may be sold whole, as cuts, or further processed into items like sausages or deli meats. Other outputs may include by-products like feathers, fat, and organs, which have various industrial and agricultural applications. Poultry meat is a key input for 2120 Meat and meat products, 2131 Prepared and preserved fish, crustaceans and molluscs, and 2133 Prepared and preserved fruit and vegetables.
