Cocoa shells, husks, skins and other cocoa waste; coffee husks and skins

cpc code 39150 encompasses a diverse range of waste products from the cocoa and coffee industries. These byproducts, which include cocoa shells, husks, skins, and other cocoa waste, as well as coffee husks and skins, play a crucial role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors. While often overlooked, the efficient utilization of these materials can contribute to the sustainability and profitability of the industries they support.

The production of the materials covered under cpc code 39150 typically involves the separation and collection of these byproducts during the primary processing of cocoa beans and coffee cherries. Cocoa shells and husks are removed from the cocoa beans, while coffee husks and skins are separated from the coffee cherries. These waste products are then often dried, cleaned, and prepared for further processing or utilization.

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under cpc code 39150 are the raw agricultural commodities themselves - cocoa beans and coffee cherries. Additionally, machinery and equipment for the harvesting, processing, and separation of the byproducts may be necessary. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also important inputs for the drying and preparation of these materials.

The primary outputs of cpc code 39150 are the various cocoa and coffee waste products, including cocoa shells, husks, skins, and other cocoa waste, as well as coffee husks and skins. These materials may be used as inputs for other industries, such as 39160 Animal feeding or 39170 Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and by-products, where they can be further processed or utilized as animal feed, fertilizers, or other products.
