About vegetables; aubergines, (e.g. plants), fresh or chilled

HS code 070930 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled aubergines (also known as eggplants). Aubergines are a widely cultivated vegetable that plays a significant role in global food production and trade. As a versatile ingredient used in various cuisines worldwide, the aubergine industry is an important component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

Aubergines are typically grown from seeds planted in well-drained soil, with the plants requiring warm temperatures and regular watering for optimal growth. Depending on the region, aubergines may be grown in open fields, greenhouses, or a combination of both. Harvesting is usually done by hand, with the fruits picked when they have reached the desired size and color. Post-harvest handling often includes sorting, grading, and packing the aubergines to ensure they reach the market in the best possible condition.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the aubergine industry include fertile agricultural land, seeds or seedlings, water for irrigation, and labor for planting, tending, and harvesting the crops. Depending on the scale of production, additional inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and specialized farming equipment may also be necessary.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 070930 is fresh or chilled aubergines, which are then consumed directly or used as an ingredient in various food products. The aubergine industry's outputs may be further processed and incorporated into other HS codes, such as 200960 Vegetable juices, 200970 Mixtures of juices, or 200990 Fruit and vegetable juices, unfermented, where aubergines are used as a component in mixed vegetable or fruit juice products.
