Cereal; germ of cereals, whole, rolled, flaked or ground

HS v2017 Code: 110430

About cereal; germ of cereals, whole, rolled, flaked or ground

HS code 110430 covers the processing and trade of cereal germs, a valuable byproduct of cereal grain milling. Cereal germs are the embryonic parts of grains that contain high concentrations of nutrients, oils, and other beneficial compounds. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing important inputs for a wide range of downstream products.

Production process

The production of cereal germs typically involves the separation of the germ from the rest of the grain during the milling process. This is often achieved through mechanical processes like rolling, flaking, or grinding to extract the germ while preserving its nutritional properties. The extracted germs may then undergo further processing, such as stabilization or packaging, to extend their shelf life and prepare them for use in various food, feed, and industrial applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the cereal germ processing industry include the raw cereal grains, such as wheat, corn, rice, or other varieties. Specialized milling equipment, such as roller mills and flakers, are also essential for the mechanical extraction and processing of the germs. Additionally, the industry may rely on packaging materials, storage facilities, and transportation infrastructure to handle and distribute the finished products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the HS code 110430 industry is processed cereal germs, which can be sold as standalone products or incorporated into a wide range of food, feed, and industrial applications. These may include 230630 Oilcake and other solid residues, of vegetable fats or oils, 230990 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included, and 151790 Edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, not elsewhere specified or included.
