About molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, frozen, smoked, dried, salted or in brine

cpc code 2126 covers a diverse range of aquatic invertebrates, including molluscs such as clams, oysters, and mussels, as well as other species like shrimp, crabs, and squid. These products play a vital role in the global food supply, providing a rich source of protein, minerals, and other essential nutrients. The industry surrounding cpc 2126 is a significant contributor to the economy, supporting livelihoods in coastal communities and meeting the growing demand for seafood worldwide.

Production process

Aquatic invertebrates classified under cpc 2126 can be processed in a variety of ways, including freezing, smoking, drying, salting, and brining. Freezing is a common technique used to preserve the freshness and quality of these products, while smoking, drying, and salting help to extend their shelf life. Brining, or submerging the products in a saltwater solution, is another method used to preserve and flavor the invertebrates.

Production inputs

The production of cpc 2126 goods requires a range of inputs, including the raw aquatic invertebrates, which are typically harvested from the wild or farmed. Specialized equipment, such as freezers, smokers, and drying facilities, are also necessary for the various processing methods. Additionally, packaging materials, such as bags, boxes, and cans, are needed to protect and transport the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc 2126 are frozen, smoked, dried, salted, or brined molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates. These products are then consumed directly or used as inputs for a variety of other industries, including 2127 Prepared and preserved fish, crustaceans and molluscs, 1075 Prepared meals and dishes, and 4620 Wholesale trade services of food, beverages and tobacco.
