Other shelled nuts

CPC v2.1 Code: 21429

About other shelled nuts

cpc code 21429 covers a diverse range of shelled nuts, excluding the more commonly known tree nuts like almonds, walnuts, and cashews. These lesser-known nuts play a vital role in the global food supply, providing nutritious and versatile ingredients for a wide range of products. As consumer demand for unique and healthy food options continues to grow, the market for these specialty nuts is expected to expand, contributing to the overall strength of the import/export industry.

Production process

The production of other shelled nuts typically involves harvesting, drying, shelling, and sorting the nuts. Depending on the specific nut variety, growers may use mechanical or manual techniques to extract the nuts from their shells. Advanced processing methods like roasting, salting, or flavoring may also be employed to enhance the nuts' taste and shelf life.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of other shelled nuts include the nut-bearing plants, which are typically grown in specific climates and soil conditions. Farmers may also require specialized equipment for harvesting, drying, and shelling the nuts. Additionally, packaging materials and transportation infrastructure are essential to ensure the safe delivery of these products to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 21429 is the shelled nuts themselves, which can be consumed directly or used as ingredients in a variety of food products. These nuts may be incorporated into 21421 Prepared foods, 21422 Snack foods, or 21423 Confectionery products, among others. The shells and other byproducts of the nut production process may also have secondary uses, such as in the production of 31221 Wood charcoal or 31222 Wood briquettes.
