About wheat or meslin flour

HS code 1101 covers wheat or meslin flour, a fundamental ingredient in the production of a wide range of food products. As a staple commodity, wheat flour is a crucial component of the global food supply chain, with significant economic and social implications. This industry plays a vital role in meeting the dietary needs of populations around the world, making it an essential part of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of wheat or meslin flour involves the milling of wheat or a mixture of wheat and other cereal grains (meslin). The key steps in this process include cleaning, conditioning, grinding, and sifting the grains to extract the flour. Modern milling techniques utilize advanced machinery and technology to ensure consistent quality and efficient production.

Production inputs

The primary input for the wheat or meslin flour industry is, of course, wheat and other cereal grains. Producers also require access to reliable sources of water, energy, and transportation infrastructure to support the milling process. Additionally, specialized milling equipment, such as rollers, sieves, and purifiers, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of flour.

Production outputs

The primary output of the wheat or meslin flour industry is, naturally, wheat or meslin flour. This flour is a crucial ingredient in the production of a wide range of food products, including 1905 Bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares, 1902 Pasta, whether or not cooked or stuffed, and 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not containing cocoa or containing less than 40% by weight of cocoa. The flour produced under HS code 1101 may also be used as an input for other food processing industries, such as those covered by 1107 Malt, whether or not roasted and 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not containing cocoa or containing less than 40% by weight of cocoa.
