About cereal groats and meal; of wheat

HS code 110311 covers the production of cereal groats and meal made from wheat. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing essential ingredients for a wide range of food products. Wheat groats and meal are fundamental components in the manufacture of breads, pastas, cereals, and other staple foods consumed worldwide, making this industry a significant contributor to the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of wheat groats and meal typically involves several key steps. First, the wheat grains are cleaned and conditioned to remove any impurities. They are then milled, either by grinding or crushing, to break down the grain into smaller particles. The resulting groats and meal are then sifted and sorted to achieve the desired particle size and consistency, ensuring a high-quality end product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of wheat groats and meal include the raw wheat grains, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized milling equipment, such as roller mills, hammer mills, or stone mills, is necessary to grind the wheat into the desired form. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential for powering the milling machinery. Water may be required for certain processing steps, and labor is needed to operate the equipment and manage the production process.
