About vegetables; uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, n.e.c. in heading no. 0710, frozen

HS code 071080 covers a wide range of frozen vegetables that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a convenient and nutritious source of produce for consumers, food service providers, and 151110 Prepared Frozen Meals manufacturers. The frozen vegetable industry is a significant contributor to the broader 030000 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing sector, with a growing demand driven by the increasing popularity of healthy, ready-to-cook meal options.

Production process

The production of frozen vegetables typically involves several key steps. First, the vegetables are harvested and sorted to ensure quality and consistency. They are then washed, trimmed, and cut into the desired size and shape. Next, the vegetables are blanched, a process of briefly boiling or steaming them to inactivate enzymes and preserve color, texture, and nutritional value. Finally, the vegetables are rapidly frozen, often using cryogenic or blast freezing techniques, to lock in freshness and extend their shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen vegetable industry include a reliable supply of fresh, high-quality produce, such as 070200 Vegetables, leguminous and 070900 Vegetables, n.e.c. in chapter 07. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment for washing, cutting, blanching, and freezing the vegetables. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the freezing and storage processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen vegetable industry is, of course, the frozen vegetables themselves, which are then distributed and sold to a variety of consumers and industries. These frozen vegetables may be used in 151110 Prepared Frozen Meals, 151120 Frozen Vegetables or as ingredients in other food products. The frozen vegetable industry also generates byproducts, such as vegetable trimmings, which may be used for animal feed or other purposes.
