About crabs, frozen, dried, salted or in brine
cpc code 21251 covers the import and export of frozen, dried, salted, or brine-preserved crabs. This industry plays a vital role in the global seafood trade, providing a valuable source of protein and meeting the growing demand for convenient, shelf-stable seafood products. As a key component of the broader fisheries and aquaculture sector, the crab processing industry contributes significantly to the world's food supply and economic activity.
Production process
The main production techniques for cpc code 21251 involve the harvesting, cleaning, and preservation of crabs. Crabs are typically caught using a variety of methods, such as traps, dredges, or trawls. Once caught, the crabs are sorted, cleaned, and processed. Freezing is a common preservation method, where the crabs are quickly frozen to lock in freshness and extend shelf life. Drying, salting, and brining are other techniques used to preserve crabs for long-term storage and transportation.
Production inputs
The key inputs for the crab processing industry under cpc code 21251 include live or raw crabs, which are the primary raw material. Other significant inputs include packaging materials, such as bags, boxes, or cans, to protect the crabs during storage and transport. Specialized equipment, such as freezers, driers, and brine tanks, are also necessary for the various preservation methods. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are required to power the processing facilities.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the crab processing industry under cpc code 21251 are frozen, dried, salted, or brine-preserved crab products. These can be consumed directly as a seafood item or used as an ingredient in other food products, such as 21230 Prepared and preserved fish, crustaceans and molluscs, 21240 Prepared meals and dishes, or 21270 Prepared animal feeds.
