About ground-nuts; not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken
HS code 1202 covers the trade of ground-nuts, also known as peanuts, that have not been roasted or otherwise cooked. Ground-nuts are an important agricultural commodity, widely cultivated across the world for their nutritious oil and protein-rich kernels. As a versatile ingredient, ground-nuts find application in a diverse range of food and non-food products, making this industry a significant contributor to the global economy.
Production process
The production of ground-nuts typically involves several key steps. After planting, the crop is grown and harvested, with the pods being manually or mechanically removed from the plants. The pods are then dried, either naturally or using specialized equipment, to reduce their moisture content. Following this, the pods are shelled to extract the edible kernels, which may be further processed, such as by sorting, grading, or cleaning, before being packaged and distributed.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the ground-nut industry include fertile agricultural land, suitable climate conditions, and access to water for irrigation. Specialized farming equipment, such as planters, harvesters, and drying facilities, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to carry out the various production and processing tasks.
Production outputs
The primary output of the ground-nut industry is the edible kernels, which can be sold as a raw ingredient or further processed into a variety of products. These include ground-nut oil, 1508 Peanut oil and its fractions, ground-nut butter, and various snack foods. The ground-nut industry also generates by-products, such as ground-nut shells and meal, which can be used as animal feed or in other industrial applications.
