About meat of bovine animals; fresh or chilled
HS code 0201 covers the trade of fresh or chilled meat from bovine animals, such as cattle and buffalo. This industry is a crucial component of the global food supply chain, providing a valuable source of protein and essential nutrients.

Production process
The production of fresh or chilled bovine meat involves several key steps. Cattle are typically raised on farms or ranches, where they are fed a balanced diet and cared for until they reach the appropriate age and weight for slaughter. The animals are then transported to specialized slaughterhouses, where they are humanely processed, with the meat being chilled or frozen for distribution and sale.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of fresh or chilled bovine meat include live cattle, feed (such as grains, hay, and silage), water, and specialized equipment for raising, transporting, and processing the animals. Slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities also require significant infrastructure, including refrigeration systems, cutting and packaging machinery, and transportation networks to deliver the final products to market.
