About swedes, mangolds, fodder roots, hay, lucerne (alfalfa), clover, sainfoin, forage kale, lupines, vetches and similar forage products, whether or not in the form of pellets
HS code 1214 covers a diverse range of forage products that are essential for the livestock industry. These products, which include swedes, mangolds, hay, alfalfa, and various legumes, serve as nutritious feed for animals such as cattle, sheep, and horses. The production and trade of these forage items play a crucial role in the global agricultural economy, supporting the supply of meat, dairy, and other animal-based products.
Production process
The production of the forage products under HS code 1214 typically involves a combination of cultivation, harvesting, and processing techniques. Crops like swedes, mangolds, and forage kale are grown in fields, with careful attention to soil preparation, planting, and pest management. Hay and other dried forages are harvested, dried, and baled or compressed for storage and transportation. Legumes like alfalfa, clover, and vetches may be grown, cut, and dried or processed into pellets to enhance their nutritional value and shelf life.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 1214 forage products include arable land, suitable climate and soil conditions, agricultural machinery (such as tractors, mowers, and balers), and labor for planting, harvesting, and processing. Depending on the specific forage product, additional inputs may include seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation systems. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the yield and overall production of the forage items.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of HS code 1214 are the various forage products themselves, which are then consumed by livestock as feed. These forage items may be used directly as animal feed or further processed into pellets, cubes, or other forms to enhance their nutritional value and ease of handling. The outputs of HS code 1214 are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 0101 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies, 0102 Live bovine animals, 0104 Live sheep and goats, and 0105 Live poultry, among others.
