About fish fillets, dried, salted or in brine, but not smoked

cpc code 21224 covers the import and export of fish fillets that have been dried, salted, or stored in brine, but not smoked. This industry plays a crucial role in the global seafood trade, providing a convenient and shelf-stable form of fish for consumers and food manufacturers around the world. As a key component of many national and international supply chains, the production and distribution of these fish products contribute significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of dried, salted, or brined fish fillets typically involves several key steps. First, the fresh fish is carefully filleted and cleaned. The fillets are then either dried in the sun or using specialized drying equipment, or submerged in a salt brine solution for a period of time. This process helps to preserve the fish and extend its shelf life. In some cases, the fillets may also be smoked, but this is not covered under cpc code 21224.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of dried, salted, or brined fish fillets include the raw fish material, salt, and any necessary processing equipment such as drying racks, brine tanks, and packaging machinery. The specific fish species used can vary depending on regional preferences and availability, but common examples include cod, haddock, and various types of whitefish. Reliable access to high-quality, sustainably sourced fish is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 21224 is dried, salted, or brined fish fillets, which can be packaged and distributed for retail sale or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products. These fish products may be consumed directly by end-users or further processed by manufacturers under other cpc codes, such as 21225 Fish, dried, whether or not salted but not smoked or 21226 Fish, salted but not dried or smoked.
