About wheat and meslin flour
cpc code 2311 covers the production and processing of wheat and meslin flour, a vital component in the global food supply chain. As a staple ingredient in a wide range of food products, from bread and pasta to baked goods and cereals, the wheat and meslin flour industry plays a crucial role in meeting the nutritional needs of populations around the world. This industry's output is closely tied to the broader 0111 Wheat and meslin agricultural sector, as well as the 1061 Grain mill products and 1071 Bakery products manufacturing industries.
Production process
The production of wheat and meslin flour involves a series of key steps. First, the wheat and meslin grains are cleaned and conditioned to remove any impurities. They are then milled, typically using a combination of roller mills and sifters, to separate the endosperm from the bran and germ. The endosperm is then ground into a fine powder, resulting in the wheat or meslin flour. The flour may undergo further processing, such as bleaching or enrichment, depending on the intended use and customer requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of wheat and meslin flour include the raw wheat and meslin grains, as well as various machinery and equipment for the milling and processing operations. This includes roller mills, sifters, storage silos, and packaging equipment. Additionally, the industry may rely on energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power the production facilities.
Production outputs
The primary output of the wheat and meslin flour industry is, of course, the flour itself, which is then consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 1071 Bakery products, 1073 Pasta, couscous, and similar farinaceous products, and 1074 Prepared meals and dishes. The flour may also be further processed into specialized products, such as self-rising flour or whole wheat flour, to meet the specific needs of different end-users.
