About swine; live

HS code 0103 covers the live trade of swine, an essential livestock industry that plays a vital role in the global food supply chain. Swine farming is a significant agricultural activity, providing a reliable source of protein and contributing to the broader economy through exports, employment, and ancillary industries.

Production process

The production of live swine involves various techniques, including breeding, feeding, and health management. Farmers carefully select and breed swine to optimize traits such as growth rate, feed efficiency, and disease resistance. Swine are typically raised in specialized facilities, where they are provided with a balanced diet, clean water, and a controlled environment to ensure their well-being and optimal growth.

Production inputs

The live swine industry requires several key inputs, including breeding stock, feed (such as grains, soybean meal, and supplements), housing and equipment (e.g., pens, feeders, and climate control systems), and veterinary care to maintain the health and welfare of the animals. Additionally, labor, land, and infrastructure are essential for the efficient operation of swine farms.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 0103 is live swine, which are then consumed by other industries, such as 0203 Meat of swine, fresh, chilled or frozen, 1501 Pig fat, free of lean meat, and poultry fat, not rendered or otherwise extracted, and 1602 Other prepared or preserved meat, meat offal or blood. These downstream industries further process and transform the live swine into a wide range of pork products for domestic consumption and international trade.
