About meat of camels and camelids, frozen
cpc code 21137 covers the import and export of frozen meat from camels and other camelid species, such as llamas and alpacas. This industry plays a significant role in the global meat trade, providing a unique and nutritious protein source to consumers around the world.

Production process
The production of frozen camelid meat typically involves the slaughter of the animals, followed by careful butchering and preparation of the meat cuts.

Proper handling, storage, and transportation procedures are crucial to maintain the quality of the frozen product throughout the supply chain.
Production inputs
The key inputs for the camelid meat industry include the live animals themselves, which are typically raised in specialized farms or ranches. These animals require access to suitable grazing land, water, and feed resources. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized slaughtering and processing facilities, as well as freezing equipment and cold storage infrastructure to prepare and preserve the meat for distribution.
