About vegetables; olives, provisionally preserved but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption

HS code 071120 covers provisionally preserved olives that are unsuitable for immediate consumption. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a way to extend the shelf life of olives and make them available year-round. Olives preserved under this code are an important ingredient in a wide range of food products, from Mediterranean cuisine to specialty condiments and marinades.

Production process

The production of provisionally preserved olives involves several key steps. First, freshly harvested olives are washed and sorted. They are then placed in a brine solution, which helps preserve them and prevent spoilage. The olives may also undergo additional processing, such as pitting or slicing, before being packaged for distribution. The brine solution and storage conditions are carefully monitored to ensure the olives remain in a state that is suitable for further processing, but not for immediate consumption.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of provisionally preserved olives under HS code 071120 include fresh olives, brine solutions, packaging materials, and processing equipment. Olives are the primary raw material, and the quality and variety of the olives used can significantly impact the final product. Specialized machinery, such as sorting, washing, and packaging equipment, is also necessary to ensure efficient and consistent production.
