About vegetable roots and tubers; yams (dioscorea spp.) with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets

HS code 071430 covers a diverse range of vegetable roots and tubers, primarily focused on yams (Dioscorea spp.) that are high in starch or inulin content. These starchy tubers are an important food source in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries, and play a significant role in the global agricultural and food processing industries.

Production process

Yams and other tubers under this code are typically grown in tropical and subtropical regions, with cultivation methods varying based on local climate and soil conditions. The tubers are harvested manually or using small-scale machinery, then cleaned, sorted, and prepared for further processing or distribution. Depending on the intended use, the tubers may be left whole, sliced, or processed into pellets or other forms.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry include fertile agricultural land, suitable climate conditions, and labor for planting, harvesting, and processing the tubers. Specialized farming equipment, such as plows and harvesters, may also be required. Additionally, the industry may rely on inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, and storage facilities to ensure the quality and longevity of the tubers.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are the fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried yams and other tubers. These products can be consumed directly as a food source or used as inputs for 111000 Food products, 121000 Beverages, and 151000 Vegetable oils and animal fats industries. The tubers may also be further processed into pellets or other forms for use in animal feed or industrial applications.
