About flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes

cpc code 21392 covers the production of various potato-based food ingredients, including flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules, and pellets. These products are widely used across the food industry, serving as key inputs for a diverse range of processed foods and snacks. As a staple crop with global production, the potato-processing industry plays an important role in the broader agricultural economy, providing value-added products that cater to evolving consumer preferences and industrial needs.

Production process

The production of potato-based food ingredients typically involves several key steps. First, potatoes are harvested, cleaned, and sorted. They are then processed through techniques such as drying, grinding, and sieving to create the desired powder, flake, or granular texture. Advanced processing may also include steps like pre-cooking, extrusion, or agglomeration to produce specialized pellet or flake formats. Throughout the process, quality control measures ensure consistent product characteristics and safety.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of potato-based food ingredients include raw potatoes, as well as energy, water, and processing equipment. Potatoes are the primary agricultural input, sourced from 01133 Potatoes. Specialized machinery for drying, milling, and packaging is also essential, along with utilities like electricity and steam. Depending on the specific product, additional ingredients such as emulsifiers or preservatives may be incorporated during the manufacturing process.
