About fats and oils and their fractions, of marine mammals

cpc code 21526 covers the industry of extracting and processing fats and oils from marine mammals such as whales, seals, and walruses. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of industries, including food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The demand for these specialized fats and oils continues to grow, driven by their unique properties and applications.

Production process

The production of fats and oils from marine mammals typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as blubber or other fatty tissues, are harvested from the animals. These raw materials are then transported to processing facilities, where they undergo rendering or other extraction methods to separate the fats and oils from the other components. The extracted fats and oils are then refined, purified, and sometimes further processed to meet the specific requirements of different industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fats and oils from marine mammals include the raw materials (i.e., the fatty tissues harvested from the animals), as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the extraction, refining, and processing of these materials. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, transportation infrastructure, and access to energy sources to support the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cpc code 21526 industry are the fats and oils extracted from marine mammals. These products are then used as inputs for a variety of other industries, such as 21521 Fats and oils and their fractions, of fish, 21522 Fats and oils and their fractions, of vegetable origin, and 21523 Fats and oils and their fractions, of animal origin, nes. The fats and oils derived from marine mammals are valued for their unique properties and applications, making them essential components in the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial products.
