About vegetables; spinach, new zealand spinach and orache spinach (garden spinach), uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen

HS code 071030 covers a range of frozen spinach products, including traditional spinach, New Zealand spinach, and orache spinach. These vegetables are widely consumed globally and play a significant role in the international trade of frozen produce. The spinach industry is an important component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing essential nutrients and contributing to the diversification of global diets.

Production process

The production of frozen spinach typically involves several key steps. First, the spinach is harvested, often mechanically, to ensure efficient collection of the crop. The harvested spinach is then washed, sorted, and trimmed to remove any damaged or undesirable leaves. Next, the spinach is blanched, a process of briefly exposing the leaves to hot water or steam, which helps to preserve their color, texture, and nutritional content. Finally, the spinach is rapidly frozen, either through individual quick freezing (IQF) or in bulk, to lock in freshness and enable long-term storage and transportation.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the frozen spinach industry include the spinach crop itself, as well as water, energy, and processing equipment. Spinach cultivation requires fertile soil, suitable climate conditions, and access to irrigation. The processing stage involves the use of specialized machinery for washing, blanching, and freezing the spinach. Additionally, packaging materials, such as bags or boxes, are necessary to protect the frozen product during storage and distribution.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 071030 is frozen spinach, which can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in a variety of food products.
