CPC v2.1 Code: 212
About prepared and preserved fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates
cpc code 212 encompasses the production and processing of a wide range of aquatic products, including fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other invertebrates. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential sources of protein, nutrients, and culinary ingredients. As a key component of the broader 03 Agriculture, forestry and fishing sector, the 212 industry contributes significantly to national and international trade, supporting livelihoods and economic development across many coastal and maritime regions.
Production process
The production techniques used in the 212 industry involve a combination of fishing, aquaculture, and various processing methods. Fishing operations utilize a range of vessels, gear, and techniques to harvest aquatic species from both marine and freshwater environments. Aquaculture facilities, such as fish farms and shellfish hatcheries, employ specialized methods to cultivate and raise aquatic organisms. Processing activities include activities like cleaning, filleting, canning, freezing, and preserving the harvested products to ensure their quality, safety, and extended shelf life.
Production inputs
The 212 industry requires a variety of inputs to support its production activities. Key raw materials include the aquatic species themselves, which are sourced through fishing and aquaculture operations. Additional inputs include packaging materials, such as cans, jars, and freezer bags, as well as processing equipment, such as cutting machines, canning lines, and freezing units. The industry also relies on energy sources, transportation infrastructure, and a skilled workforce to carry out its operations effectively.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 212 industry are a diverse range of prepared and preserved aquatic products, including canned, frozen, or otherwise processed fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other invertebrates. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 10 Food products, 46 Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and 47 Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, as well as by individual consumers. The 212 industry's outputs contribute to the global food supply and support culinary traditions and dietary preferences around the world.
