About meat; of swine, n.e.c. in item no. 0203.2, frozen

HS code 020329 covers the import and export of frozen pork meat that is not classified elsewhere in the 0203.2 category. This is a significant industry, as pork is one of the most widely consumed meats globally, with the global pork market valued at over $300 billion. The trade in frozen pork products plays a crucial role in meeting the world's demand for this versatile protein source.

Production process

Pork production typically involves raising pigs on specialized farms, where they are fed a balanced diet and cared for until they reach the desired weight and age for slaughter. The carcasses are then processed, with the meat cut, trimmed, and packaged for distribution. Freezing is a common preservation method, which allows the pork to be stored and transported over longer distances while maintaining quality and freshness.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the pork industry include live pigs, feed (such as grains, soy, and supplements), water, and specialized equipment for raising, slaughtering, and processing the meat. Farms, slaughterhouses, and packing facilities also require land, buildings, and utilities to support their operations. Additionally, the industry relies on transportation infrastructure to move the pork products from production sites to distribution centers and end markets.

Production outputs
