The trade of these products facilitates the distribution of a nutritious and versatile protein source to consumers worldwide.
Production process
Mussels classified under cpc code 21263 can undergo various processing techniques. Freezing is a common method to preserve the freshness and extend the shelf life of mussels. Smoking imparts a distinct flavor profile, while drying or salting reduces moisture content. Mussels may also be packed in brine solutions to maintain their quality during storage and transportation.
Production inputs
The production of mussels under cpc code 21263 requires access to high-quality mussel stocks, either from aquaculture farms or wild harvesting. Specialized equipment, such as freezers, smokers, and brine tanks, are necessary to carry out the various processing methods. Additionally, packaging materials, such as bags or containers, are needed to prepare the mussels for distribution.
Production outputs
The mussels produced under cpc code 21263 are primarily destined for the food service industry and retail markets. These frozen, smoked, dried, salted, or brined mussels can be further processed or consumed directly by end-users. Other related cpc codes that may consume the output of this industry include 21262 Mussels, fresh or chilled and 21269 Other molluscs and aquatic invertebrates, frozen, dried, salted or in brine.
