About crustaceans, otherwise prepared or preserved

cpc code 2127 covers the processing and preservation of crustaceans, a diverse group of marine animals that includes shrimp, lobster, crab, and other shellfish. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply, providing a valuable source of protein and other nutrients. Crustaceans are widely consumed around the world, and the demand for these products continues to grow, driven by factors such as population growth, changing dietary preferences, and the expansion of international trade.

Production process

The production of crustaceans, otherwise prepared or preserved, typically involves a series of steps, including harvesting, cleaning, cooking, and packaging. Depending on the specific product, various preservation methods may be employed, such as canning, freezing, or drying. These techniques help to extend the shelf life of the crustaceans and ensure their safe delivery to consumers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include live or raw crustaceans, which are the primary raw material. Additionally, producers may require specialized equipment for processing, such as cooking vessels, packaging machinery, and storage facilities. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various stages of production. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is another crucial input, as the processing of crustaceans often involves manual tasks.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is a wide range of prepared or preserved crustacean products, such as canned shrimp, frozen lobster tails, and dried crab meat. These products are then consumed by individuals, restaurants, and other food service establishments, as well as used as inputs for the production of 2123 Prepared meals and dishes, 2124 Prepared animal feeds, and other related food products.
