Rape, colza and mustard oil

CPC v2.1 Code: 2164

About rape, colza and mustard oil

cpc code 2164 covers the production of rape, colza, and mustard oil. These oils are derived from the seeds of various brassica plant species and are widely used in food, industrial, and biofuel applications. The global market for these oils has grown significantly in recent years, driven by increasing demand for vegetable oils, the expansion of the biofuels industry, and the versatility of these oils in various end-use sectors.

Production process

The production of rape, colza, and mustard oil typically involves several key steps. First, the oilseeds are harvested, cleaned, and prepared for processing. They are then crushed or pressed to extract the crude oil, which is then refined, bleached, and deodorized to produce the finished product. The residual meal left after oil extraction is also a valuable co-product, often used as animal feed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of rape, colza, and mustard oil include the oilseeds themselves, which are typically grown as agricultural crops. Other key inputs include processing equipment such as crushers, presses, and refining machinery, as well as energy sources, water, and various chemicals used in the refining process. The industry also relies on a range of supporting infrastructure, such as transportation, storage, and distribution networks.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2164 is the refined rape, colza, and mustard oils, which are used in a variety of applications. These oils are commonly used in food products, such as cooking oils, salad dressings, and margarines. They are also used in industrial applications, such as the production of lubricants, paints, and coatings. Additionally, these oils are increasingly being used as feedstocks for the production of biofuels, particularly biodiesel. Other outputs from this industry include the residual meal, which is used as animal feed, and various by-products from the refining process. The outputs of cpc code 2164 may be consumed by industries covered under 2165 Animal and vegetable oils and fats, n.e.c., 2320 Refined petroleum products, and 2429 Other chemical products n.e.c..
