About nuts, edible; hazelnuts or filberts (corylus spp.), fresh or dried, shelled

HS code 080222 covers the trade of fresh or dried, shelled hazelnuts or filberts (Corylus spp.). Hazelnuts are a popular and versatile nut that are widely consumed globally, both as a snack and as an ingredient in various food products. The hazelnut industry plays a significant role in the global tree nut market, contributing to the agricultural economies of major producing countries.

Production process

Hazelnuts are primarily cultivated in orchards or plantations. The production process involves planting hazelnut trees, which typically take 3-5 years to reach maturity and begin bearing nuts. Harvesting is done manually or mechanically, with the nuts being collected, dried, and then shelled to remove the edible kernel. Post-harvest processing may include sorting, grading, and packaging the nuts for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the hazelnut industry include land suitable for hazelnut cultivation, hazelnut tree seedlings or saplings, agricultural equipment for planting, harvesting, and processing, as well as labor for the various stages of production. Hazelnuts also require specific climatic conditions, such as moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall, to thrive.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080222 is shelled, edible hazelnuts. These nuts are widely used in the food industry, both as a standalone snack and as an ingredient in various confectionery, baked goods, and other food products. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other HS codes, such as 200819 Nuts, nes, prepared or preserved, 180620 Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa, and 190520 Gingerbread and the like.
