About locust beans, seaweeds and other algae, sugar beet, sugar cane, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not ground; fruit stones, kernels and other vegetable products (including unroasted chicory roots) used primarily for human consumption, n.e.c.
HS code 1212 covers a diverse range of agricultural products that are primarily used for human consumption. This code includes items such as locust beans, seaweeds, algae, sugar beet, sugar cane, and various fruit stones, kernels, and other vegetable products. These commodities play a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential nutrients, sweeteners, and other functional ingredients for a wide range of food and beverage applications.
Production process
The production techniques for the items under HS code 1212 vary depending on the specific product. For example, sugar beet and sugar cane are typically harvested, processed, and refined to extract their natural sugars. Seaweeds and algae are often harvested from the ocean or cultivated in controlled environments, then dried or processed for use in various food and cosmetic products. Fruit stones, kernels, and other vegetable products may be collected, dried, and sometimes further processed to extract oils, flours, or other valuable components.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the industries covered by HS code 1212 include agricultural land, water, and labor for cultivation and harvesting. Specialized equipment, such as harvesting machinery, drying facilities, and processing equipment, may also be necessary depending on the specific product. Additionally, some products may require additional inputs, such as fertilizers or processing chemicals, to ensure optimal quality and yield.
Production outputs
The outputs of the industries covered by HS code 1212 are diverse and serve a wide range of applications. The primary outputs include sweeteners, such as 1701 Cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, food ingredients, such as 1302 Vegetable saps and extracts; pectic substances, pectinates and pectates; agar-agar and other mucilages and thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from vegetable products, and various other food and cosmetic products. These outputs are often used as inputs for other industries, such as 2008 Fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, not elsewhere specified or included.
