HS v2017 Code: 170112

About sugars; beet sugar, raw, in solid form, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter

HS code 170112 covers raw beet sugar, a crucial commodity in the global food and beverage industry. Beet sugar is an essential sweetener used in a wide range of products, from confectionery and baked goods to soft drinks and preserves. As a major agricultural export, beet sugar plays a significant role in international trade and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of raw beet sugar involves several key steps. First, sugar beets are harvested and transported to processing facilities. The beets are then washed, sliced, and subjected to a diffusion process to extract the sugar-rich juice. The juice is then purified, concentrated, and crystallized to produce raw sugar. Finally, the raw sugar is dried and stored for further processing or export.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw beet sugar include sugar beets, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for harvesting, transportation, and processing the beets. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 170112 is raw beet sugar, which is then further processed and refined for use in a variety of food and beverage products. The refined sugar may be classified under other HS codes, such as 170199 Sugars; cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter, depending on the level of processing and any additional treatments.
