About fish, dried, whether or not salted, or in brine; smoked incl. fillets; edible fish meal

cpc code 2123 covers a diverse range of fish products, including dried, salted, or smoked fish, as well as edible fish meal. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a valuable source of protein and nutrients. As an important component of the broader 01 Agriculture, forestry and fishing sector, the fish processing industry contributes significantly to national and international trade, economic growth, and food security.

Production process

The production of goods under cpc code 2123 typically involves several key steps. Fish are first caught or harvested, then processed through drying, salting, or smoking techniques to preserve them. Drying can be done naturally through air-drying or using specialized drying equipment. Salting involves submerging the fish in brine or applying salt directly to the surface. Smoking is another common preservation method, where fish are exposed to smoke from burning wood or other materials. In some cases, the processed fish may be further refined into edible fish meal, a nutrient-rich ingredient used in animal feed and other applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under cpc code 2123 include raw fish, salt, wood or other materials for smoking, and specialized equipment for drying, salting, and processing. Depending on the specific product, additional inputs such as packaging materials may also be necessary. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production process and the final product.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 2123 are dried, salted, or smoked fish, as well as edible fish meal. These products are widely consumed as food, both domestically and internationally, and are often used as ingredients in a variety of other food products. The outputs of this industry may be further processed or incorporated into the production of goods classified under other cpc codes, such as 2124 Fish, frozen and 2125 Fish, fresh or chilled.
