About fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants; prepared or preserved in ways n.e.c., whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, not elsewhere specified or included

HS code 2008 encompasses a diverse range of prepared or preserved fruit, nuts, and other edible plant-based products. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing consumers with convenient, shelf-stable options that complement fresh produce. The products classified under this code are widely used in a variety of food and beverage applications, making it an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production techniques used in this industry typically involve various preservation methods, such as canning, jarring, or bottling. These processes often include steps like washing, peeling, cutting, and cooking the raw materials before packaging them with added sweeteners, syrups, or other ingredients. The specific techniques may vary depending on the type of fruit, nut, or plant-based product being processed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include the raw agricultural commodities (e.g., 0801 Coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts, 0802 Other nuts, 0804 Dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes and mangosteens), as well as packaging materials, processing equipment, and various additives or preservatives. The availability and quality of these inputs are crucial for maintaining consistent production and meeting consumer demand.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the various prepared or preserved fruit, nut, and plant-based products, which are then distributed and sold to consumers, food manufacturers, and other industries. These products may be used as ingredients in 2009 (Fruit juices (including grape must) and vegetable juices), 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, or 2202 Waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, among other applications.
