About hazelnuts, shelled

cpc code 21423 covers the industry of hazelnuts, shelled. Hazelnuts are a popular tree nut that are widely consumed globally, both as a snack and as an ingredient in various food products. The hazelnut industry plays a significant role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing a valuable source of nutrients, flavor, and texture to a wide range of consumer goods.

Production process

The production of shelled hazelnuts involves several key steps. Hazelnuts are first harvested from hazelnut trees, typically in the late summer or early fall. The nuts are then dried, either naturally or using specialized drying equipment, to reduce their moisture content. Next, the nuts are shelled, either manually or using automated machinery, to remove the hard outer shell and expose the edible kernel inside. Finally, the shelled hazelnuts may undergo further processing, such as roasting or packaging, before being distributed to various food manufacturers and retailers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the hazelnut industry include the hazelnut trees themselves, which require specific growing conditions such as well-drained soil and a temperate climate. Additionally, the industry relies on various agricultural equipment and machinery for harvesting, drying, and shelling the nuts. Labor is also a significant input, as much of the production process may involve manual handling and sorting of the hazelnuts.

Production outputs

The primary output of the hazelnut industry is the shelled hazelnut kernel, which is then used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products, including confectionery, baked goods, and nut-based spreads. The shelled hazelnuts may also be sold directly to consumers as a snack food. Other related codes that may consume the output of the hazelnut industry include 21421 Hazelnuts, in shell and 21424 Hazelnut meal and flour.
