About vegetables, leguminous; peas (pisum sativum), shelled or unshelled, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen

HS code 071021 covers frozen peas, a widely traded and consumed leguminous vegetable. Peas are a staple food item globally, with significant production and consumption across both developed and developing economies. As a versatile ingredient, frozen peas find applications in a variety of food products and cuisines, making this code an important component of the broader 0710 Vegetables, frozen industry.

Production process

The production of frozen peas involves several key steps. First, pea pods are harvested at the optimal maturity stage. The peas are then shelled, washed, and blanched to inactivate enzymes and preserve color and texture. Next, the peas undergo a freezing process, typically using techniques such as flash freezing or cryogenic freezing, to quickly lower their temperature and lock in freshness. Finally, the frozen peas are packaged and stored for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of frozen peas include fresh pea pods, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on water for washing and blanching, as well as energy sources for the freezing and packaging processes. Specialized equipment, such as shelling machines, blanchers, and freezing units, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 071021 is frozen peas, which can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products. These frozen peas may be further processed or incorporated into dishes such as soups, stews, casseroles, and side dishes. The output of this industry may also serve as an input for other related 0710 Vegetables, frozen codes, such as 071029 Vegetables, leguminous, nes, shelled or unshelled, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen.
