About vegetable preparations; potatoes, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, frozen
HS code 200410 covers a significant segment of the global food processing industry, focusing on the preparation and preservation of potatoes. This industry plays a crucial role in the international trade of processed agricultural products, meeting the growing demand for convenient and shelf-stable food items. Potatoes are a staple crop worldwide, and the ability to prepare and preserve them through freezing techniques has made them a widely traded commodity, contributing to food security and economic development across various regions.
Production process
The production of frozen potato preparations under HS code 200410 typically involves several key steps. First, potatoes are harvested, washed, and peeled or cut into desired shapes and sizes. They are then blanched, a process of briefly boiling the potatoes to inactivate enzymes and improve texture. Next, the potatoes are frozen, often using cryogenic or mechanical freezing methods, to preserve their quality and extend their shelf life. Packaging, which may include vacuum sealing or the use of protective coatings, is the final step before the frozen potato products are ready for distribution and consumption.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of frozen potato preparations under HS code 200410 include raw potatoes, which serve as the primary ingredient. Additionally, the industry relies on various processing equipment, such as peelers, cutters, blanchers, and freezers, as well as packaging materials like bags, boxes, or containers. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the freezing and storage processes. The industry may also utilize additives or preservatives to enhance the final product's quality and shelf life.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 200410 is frozen potato preparations, which can be consumed as a side dish, ingredient in other dishes, or as a snack. These frozen potato products may be further processed or incorporated into a wide range of food items, including 200490 Vegetable preparations; other, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, frozen, 200520 Potatoes; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen, and 200911 Fruit and vegetable juices; orange juice, frozen.
