About vegetable preparations; beans, (not shelled), prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen

HS code 200559 covers a range of vegetable preparations involving beans that are not shelled and have been prepared or preserved in ways other than by vinegar or acetic acid. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing consumers with convenient and shelf-stable bean-based products. As a key component of many cuisines around the world, the trade in these vegetable preparations is an important part of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of the vegetable preparations covered by HS code 200559 typically involves several key steps. First, the beans are harvested and sorted, with any damaged or low-quality beans removed. The beans are then washed, blanched, and packed into cans or jars. Various sauces, seasonings, or other ingredients may be added before the final sealing and sterilization of the containers. This process helps to extend the shelf life of the beans while retaining their flavor and nutritional value.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the vegetable preparations under HS code 200559 include the raw beans, which can come from a variety of bean varieties. Other key inputs include canning or jarring equipment, sauces and seasonings, and energy sources for the production and sterilization processes. Specialized machinery for sorting, washing, and packing the beans is also an important part of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 200559 is the canned or jarred vegetable preparations involving beans. These products are then consumed by a wide range of end-users, including households, food service establishments, and food manufacturers.
