About fish meat, whether or not minced, frozen

cpc code 21223 covers the import and export of frozen fish meat, whether or not minced. This industry plays a crucial role in the global seafood supply chain, providing a versatile and convenient source of protein for consumers worldwide. As a key component of the broader fishing and aquaculture sector, the frozen fish meat industry contributes significantly to the overall economy, supporting livelihoods and providing a valuable food source.

Production process

The production of frozen fish meat typically involves several key steps. First, the fish is caught, either through commercial fishing or aquaculture operations. The fish is then transported to processing facilities, where it undergoes cleaning, filleting, and potentially mincing. The prepared fish meat is then frozen, often using blast freezing or cryogenic techniques, to preserve its freshness and quality. Finally, the frozen fish meat is packaged and prepared for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen fish meat industry include the raw fish material, which can be sourced from a variety of marine and freshwater species. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized processing equipment, such as filleting machines, freezers, and packaging materials. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various stages of production and distribution.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen fish meat industry is, of course, the frozen fish meat itself. This product can be consumed directly by consumers or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products, including 21224 Fish fillets, frozen, 21225 Fish meat, whether or not minced, not frozen, and 21226 Fish, dried, salted or in brine. The frozen fish meat industry also generates byproducts, such as fish oil and fish meal, which can be used in other industries.
