About abalone, frozen, smoked, dried, salted or in brine

cpc code 21261 covers the import and export of abalone, a highly prized seafood delicacy. Abalone is a type of large marine snail that is found in coastal regions around the world, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The abalone industry plays a significant role in the global seafood trade, with demand driven by its unique flavor and texture, as well as its perceived health benefits and cultural significance in many cuisines.

Production process

Abalone can be processed in a variety of ways, including freezing, smoking, drying, salting, or pickling in brine. The specific production techniques used will depend on the desired final product. For example, frozen abalone is typically harvested, cleaned, and then quickly frozen to preserve its freshness and quality. Smoked abalone undergoes a curing process where the meat is exposed to smoke, which imparts a distinctive flavor. Dried abalone is dehydrated, while salted or brined abalone is preserved in a salt or brine solution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the abalone industry include the live abalone, which are typically harvested from coastal waters or farmed in specialized aquaculture facilities. Additional inputs may include processing equipment such as freezers, smokers, or drying racks, as well as packaging materials and transportation infrastructure to deliver the final products to domestic and international markets.
