Fish, frozen (excluding fish fillets and fish meat)

CPC v2.1 Code: 2121

About fish, frozen (excluding fish fillets and fish meat)

cpc code 2121 covers the industry of frozen fish production, excluding fish fillets and fish meat. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a stable and accessible source of protein for consumers worldwide. Frozen fish is a key component of international trade, with significant import and export activities across various regions.

Production process

The production of frozen fish under cpc code 2121 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the fish are caught or harvested from the sea or aquaculture facilities. They are then cleaned, gutted, and prepared for freezing. The fish are then subjected to rapid freezing techniques, such as blast freezing or cryogenic freezing, to preserve their freshness and nutritional value. Finally, the frozen fish are packaged and stored in temperature-controlled environments to maintain their quality until distribution and consumption.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen fish industry under cpc code 2121 include the raw fish, which can be sourced from commercial fishing operations or aquaculture facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized freezing equipment, such as blast freezers and cryogenic freezing systems, as well as packaging materials to protect the frozen fish during storage and transportation.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen fish industry under cpc code 2121 is, of course, frozen fish. These frozen fish products can be consumed directly by consumers or used as inputs for other industries, such as 2122 Fish fillets and other fish meat, whether or not minced, fresh or chilled and 2123 Fish, dried, salted or in brine; smoked fish. The frozen fish produced under this code can also be further processed into value-added products, such as fish sticks or fish cakes.
