Meat of poultry, frozen

CPC v2.1 Code: 2114

About meat of poultry, frozen

cpc code 2114 covers the production and trade of frozen poultry meat, a vital component of the global food supply chain. As a major source of protein, poultry meat is in high demand worldwide, making this industry a significant contributor to the broader agricultural and food processing sectors. The frozen storage and distribution of poultry meat enables its year-round availability, supporting food security and international trade.

Production process

The production of frozen poultry meat involves several key steps. Live birds are first slaughtered and processed, with the meat then being cut, trimmed, and packaged. The packaged meat is then rapidly frozen, typically using blast freezing or cryogenic techniques, to preserve its quality and extend its shelf life. Proper handling, storage, and transportation procedures are crucial to maintain the integrity of the frozen product throughout the supply chain.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of frozen poultry meat include live birds, processing equipment, packaging materials, and energy sources for freezing and storage. Poultry farms, hatcheries, and processing facilities are the primary suppliers of the raw material, while specialized machinery, such as slaughtering, cutting, and freezing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Packaging, including bags, boxes, and pallets, is necessary for the safe and efficient distribution of the frozen product.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2114 is frozen poultry meat, which can be further classified into various cuts and product types, such as 2115 Meat of poultry, not frozen, 2116 Poultry offal, edible, and 2117 Poultry fat, not rendered or otherwise extracted. These frozen poultry products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 2311 Meat and meat products, 2312 Prepared and preserved fish, crustaceans and molluscs, and 2313 Prepared and preserved fruits and vegetables.
