About oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil

HS code 2304 covers oil-cake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil. This industry plays a crucial role in the global agricultural and food processing sectors, as soya-bean oil is one of the most widely consumed vegetable oils worldwide. The by-products from soya-bean oil extraction, known as oil-cake, are valuable sources of protein and nutrients, making them an important component of animal feed and other industrial applications.

Production process

The production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 2304 typically involves the extraction of soya-bean oil through a process known as mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. In mechanical pressing, the soya beans are crushed and the oil is separated from the solid residues. Solvent extraction, on the other hand, uses chemical solvents to extract the oil, leaving behind the solid by-products. These solid residues are then further processed, which may include grinding, pelletizing, or other treatments, to produce the final oil-cake products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 2304 are soya beans, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the production process may require various types of machinery, such as crushers, presses, and solvent extraction equipment, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production facilities. Other inputs may include chemicals, such as solvents, and packaging materials for the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 2304 is oil-cake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil. These by-products are widely used as animal feed, particularly for livestock such as cattle, poultry, and swine. Additionally, the oil-cake may be further processed and used in other industries, such as 2302 Bran, sharps and other residues, whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other working of cereals or of leguminous plants or 2308 Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and by-products, whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included.
