HS v2017 Code: 1002

About rye

HS code 1002 covers rye, a cereal grain that has been an important crop for centuries. Rye is primarily grown in temperate regions and is valued for its hardy nature, adaptability to poor soil conditions, and unique flavor profile. As a staple food and animal feed, rye plays a significant role in the global agricultural economy, with major producers and exporters found across Europe and North America.

Production process

Rye is typically grown as an annual crop, with the seeds sown in the fall and the grain harvested in the late spring or early summer. The production process involves plowing, seeding, fertilizing, and harvesting the rye using specialized agricultural machinery. After harvesting, the rye is often dried, cleaned, and stored before being processed for food, animal feed, or industrial uses.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for rye production include arable land, rye seed, fertilizers, and agricultural equipment such as tractors, plows, and combines. Rye also requires adequate rainfall or irrigation, as well as suitable climatic conditions to thrive. Additionally, labor is a significant input, with farmers and farm workers responsible for the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

Rye is primarily used for human consumption, either as a whole grain or processed into flour, bread, and other food products. It is also a common ingredient in animal feed, particularly for livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs. Additionally, rye is used in the production of certain alcoholic beverages, such as rye whiskey, and has industrial applications in the production of 3507 Enzymes, 2905 Alcohols, and 2936 Vitamins.
