Oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of palm nuts or kernels oils

HS v2017 Code: 230660

About oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of palm nuts or kernels oils

HS code 230660 covers oil-cake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of palm nuts or kernels oils. This industry plays a crucial role in the global agricultural and food processing sectors, as the byproducts from palm oil production are widely used as animal feed and fertilizers. The demand for these residues is closely tied to the growth of the palm oil industry, which has expanded significantly in recent years to meet the increasing global need for vegetable oils and fats.

Production process

The production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 230660 is a byproduct of the palm oil extraction process. After the palm fruits are harvested, they are processed to extract the crude palm oil. The remaining solid material, known as palm kernel cake or palm kernel meal, is then dried, ground, and sometimes pelletized to produce the final products covered under this code.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 230660 are palm fruits or kernels, which serve as the raw material. Additionally, the production process requires machinery and equipment for crushing, drying, and pelletizing the solid residues. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 230660 are oil-cake and other solid residues, which are used as animal feed or as a source of organic matter for fertilizers. These byproducts are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 230400 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soybean oil and 230990 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included.
