About poultry; live, guinea fowls, weighing not more than 185g

HS code 010515 covers the trade of live guinea fowls weighing not more than 185 grams. Guinea fowl farming is an important agricultural activity, particularly in parts of Africa and Europe. These birds are valued for their meat, eggs, and feathers, and play a significant role in the global poultry industry. The trade of live guinea fowls under this code contributes to food security and economic development in many regions around the world.

Production process

Guinea fowl production typically involves raising the birds in free-range or semi-intensive farming systems. Chicks are hatched from eggs and reared until they reach the desired weight, usually around 12-16 weeks of age. Farmers may use specialized feeding and housing techniques to optimize the birds' growth and health. Proper handling and transportation methods are crucial to ensure the well-being of the live animals during trade.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for guinea fowl production include breeding stock, feed (such as grains, insects, and forage), water, and housing infrastructure. Farmers may also need access to veterinary services, medications, and equipment for tasks like egg incubation and chick brooding. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the profitability and sustainability of guinea fowl farming operations.

Production outputs

Live guinea fowls traded under HS code 010515 are primarily used for meat production, egg laying, and breeding purposes. The meat and eggs are often consumed domestically or exported to other countries. The feathers may also be used for decorative or industrial purposes. The output from this industry can be further processed and traded under other HS codes, such as 020726 Poultry; cuts and offal, of guinea fowls, frozen and 040700 Birds' eggs, in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked.
