About meat of cattle, frozen
cpc code 21131 covers the industry of producing frozen meat from cattle. This is a crucial sector within the broader food production and processing industry, providing a vital source of protein and other essential nutrients for consumers worldwide. Cattle farming and meat processing play a significant role in the global economy, contributing to food security, employment, and international trade.
Production process
The production of frozen cattle meat involves several key steps. First, cattle are raised and fattened on farms or ranches. The animals are then transported to slaughterhouses, where they are humanely slaughtered and their carcasses are processed. The meat is then cut, trimmed, and packaged before being rapidly frozen to preserve its freshness and quality. Advanced freezing techniques, such as blast freezing, are often employed to ensure the meat retains its flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of frozen cattle meat include live cattle, which are the primary raw material. Other significant inputs include specialized slaughtering and meat processing equipment, such as cutting machines, freezers, and packaging materials. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities and maintain the cold chain during storage and transportation.
Production outputs
The primary output of cpc code 21131 is frozen beef and veal.
