About edible offal of bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, horses, asses, mules or hinnies; fresh, chilled or frozen

HS code 0206 covers the trade of edible offal, which refers to the internal organs and by-products of slaughtered animals. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a valuable source of protein, nutrients, and other essential components. The offal trade is particularly important in developing countries, where these products are often more affordable and accessible than premium cuts of meat.

Production process

The production of edible offal involves the careful processing and handling of animal by-products. After slaughter, the internal organs and other offal are meticulously cleaned, trimmed, and prepared for distribution. Depending on the specific product, offal may be sold fresh, chilled, or frozen to preserve its quality and extend its shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the edible offal industry include the live animals themselves, as well as specialized equipment and facilities for slaughtering, processing, and packaging the products. Skilled labor, transportation, and cold storage infrastructure are also essential components of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the edible offal industry are the various organ meats, such as liver, kidneys, and hearts, as well as other by-products like tripe and tongue. These outputs are often consumed directly or used as ingredients in a wide range of food products, including 1602 Prepared or preserved meat, offal or blood and 1604 Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs.
