About cereal grains; worked (e.g. hulled, pearled, sliced or kibbled) of maize (corn)

HS code 110423 covers the classification of worked or processed maize (corn) grains. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a versatile and widely-used ingredient for a range of food and industrial products. Maize is one of the world's most important cereal crops, and the processing of these grains into various forms is a significant economic activity, with applications across the food, animal feed, and industrial sectors.

Production process

The production of worked maize grains typically involves a series of mechanical processing steps. This can include hulling to remove the outer husk, pearling to polish the grains, and slicing or kibbling to create smaller, more uniform particles. These techniques help to improve the texture, appearance, and ease of use of the maize grains for various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of worked maize grains include the raw maize crop, as well as specialized processing equipment such as hullers, pearlers, and slicers. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are needed to power the production machinery. The availability and quality of the maize supply, as well as the efficiency of the processing equipment, are critical factors in this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 110423 are the various forms of worked maize grains, including hulled, pearled, sliced, and kibbled varieties. These processed maize products are then used as ingredients in a wide range of food and industrial applications, such as 110220 (Maize (corn) flour), 110313 Cereal groats, meal and pellets, and 230400 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soyabean oil.
