HS code 030193 covers the trade of live carp, a diverse group of freshwater fish that are widely cultivated and consumed globally. Carp are an important source of protein and a staple food in many regions, particularly in Asia. The carp industry plays a significant role in the global aquaculture sector, contributing to food security and economic development in numerous countries.

Production process

Carp are typically farmed in ponds, lakes, or other freshwater bodies using extensive or semi-intensive aquaculture techniques. The fish are bred and raised in controlled environments, with careful management of water quality, feeding, and disease prevention. Carp are known for their hardy nature and ability to thrive in a variety of aquatic conditions, making them a popular choice for aquaculture.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the carp industry include freshwater resources, specialized feed formulations, and hatchery-produced fingerlings or juvenile fish. Farmers also require access to land or water bodies suitable for carp cultivation, as well as equipment such as aerators, nets, and harvesting tools. Skilled labor and technical expertise in aquaculture management are also essential inputs for successful carp production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030193 is live carp, which are then sold for consumption, further processing, or used as stocking material for aquaculture or recreational fishing. The carp produced under this code may be consumed domestically or exported to other countries, where they are used in a variety of culinary and cultural applications. Carp are also sometimes used as feed for other aquaculture species, such as 030199 Fish; live, other.
