This industry plays a significant role in the global food supply chain, providing a nutritious and versatile protein source to consumers around the world.

Production process

Scallops classified under cpc code 21264 undergo various processing techniques to preserve their quality and extend their shelf life. The scallops may be frozen to lock in freshness, smoked to impart a distinctive flavor, or dried and salted to reduce moisture content.

These processing steps help to ensure the scallops remain safe for consumption and maintain their desirable characteristics during storage and transportation.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the scallops industry under cpc code 21264 are the raw scallops themselves, which are harvested from the ocean. Specialized equipment such as freezers, smokers, and brining tanks are also essential for the various processing methods. Additionally, packaging materials, such as bags, boxes, or cans, are required to protect the scallops during distribution and storage.

Production outputs

The main output of this industry is frozen, smoked, dried, salted, or brined scallops, which are then distributed and sold to a variety of consumers and industries. These scallops may be purchased by 21235 Restaurants and catering services, 21236 Retail trade, or 21237 Wholesale trade for use in a wide range of culinary applications, from seafood dishes to sushi. The processed scallops may also be exported to international markets, contributing to the global trade of seafood products.
