HS v2017 Code: 071010

About vegetables; potatoes, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen

HS code 071010 covers the classification of frozen potatoes, a staple food item that is widely traded globally. Potatoes are one of the most important and widely cultivated vegetable crops, serving as a crucial source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. The frozen potato industry plays a significant role in the global food supply chain, catering to the increasing demand for convenient and versatile food products.

Production process

The production of frozen potatoes involves several key steps. First, potatoes are harvested, washed, and peeled. They are then cut into the desired shapes and sizes, such as french fry cuts or potato wedges. The cut potatoes are then blanched, a process of briefly boiling them to inactivate enzymes and improve texture. After blanching, the potatoes are rapidly frozen, typically using cryogenic or blast freezing techniques, to preserve their quality and freshness.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen potato industry include high-quality potatoes, water for washing and blanching, and energy sources for the freezing process. Specialized equipment, such as peelers, cutters, and freezing units, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on efficient transportation and storage infrastructure to move the frozen potatoes from production facilities to distribution centers and ultimately to consumers.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen potato industry is, of course, frozen potato products. These can be further classified into various subcategories, such as 071010 Vegetables; potatoes, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, 200410 Potatoes; prepared or preserved, frozen, and 200490 Vegetables and mixtures of vegetables; prepared or preserved, frozen, n.e.c. in item no. 2004.10. These frozen potato products are widely consumed by households, food service providers, and the food processing industry.
