About meat of sheep, frozen
cpc code 21135 covers the production and trade of frozen meat from sheep. This is a significant industry within the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing a valuable protein source for consumers worldwide. Sheep farming and meat processing play an important role in the economies of many countries, particularly those with large pastoral regions suitable for raising livestock.
Production process
The production of frozen sheep meat involves several key steps. Sheep are first raised on farms or ranches, where they are cared for and fattened. Once ready for slaughter, the animals are transported to processing facilities. Here, they are humanely killed, their carcasses are cleaned and trimmed, and the meat is cut into various retail cuts. The meat is then rapidly frozen, often using cryogenic or blast freezing techniques, to preserve its freshness and quality.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the frozen sheep meat industry include live sheep, feed and other livestock rearing resources, processing equipment such as slaughtering tools and freezing units, and energy sources to power the facilities. Transportation infrastructure to move live animals and finished products is also a critical input. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce to carry out the various stages of production.
