About tapioca and substitutes therefor prepared from starch, in the form of flakes, grains, siftings or similar forms

cpc code 2323 covers the production and trade of tapioca and other starch-based products in the form of flakes, grains, siftings, or similar forms. Tapioca is a starch extracted from the cassava root, a staple food crop in many parts of the world. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a versatile and affordable ingredient for a wide range of food and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of tapioca and its substitutes involves several key steps. First, the cassava roots are harvested, peeled, and washed. The roots are then grated or crushed to extract the starch-rich liquid, which is then filtered and allowed to settle. The starch is then dried, often through a process of heating and dehydration, to produce the final tapioca product in the form of flakes, grains, or siftings.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tapioca and its substitutes include cassava roots or other starch-rich raw materials, as well as processing equipment such as graters, filters, and drying systems. Additionally, the industry may rely on energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production process, as well as water for washing and processing the raw materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2323 is tapioca and other starch-based products in the form of flakes, grains, siftings, or similar forms. These products are widely used in the food industry as thickeners, binders, and fillers in a variety of food products, including puddings, sauces, and baked goods. The output of this industry may also be used as a raw material for the production of 2324 Tapioca pearls, tapioca flour and meal, 2325 Sago and substitutes therefor prepared from starch, in the form of flakes, grains, pearls, siftings or in similar forms, and other starch-based products.
