About meat of bovine animals; frozen
HS code 0202 covers the trade of frozen meat from bovine animals, which includes cattle, oxen, and buffalo. This industry is a crucial component of the global food supply chain, providing a reliable source of protein and essential nutrients. Frozen beef and veal products are widely consumed across the world, making this industry a significant contributor to the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.
Production process
The production of frozen bovine meat typically involves the following key steps: slaughtering and dressing the animals, chilling the carcasses, and then freezing the meat at very low temperatures to preserve its quality and extend its shelf life. Specialized equipment, such as blast freezers and cold storage facilities, are used to ensure the meat is frozen and stored at the optimal conditions.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of frozen bovine meat include live cattle, which are the primary raw material. Other significant inputs include energy sources (e.g., electricity, fuel) for powering the slaughtering and freezing equipment, as well as packaging materials to protect the frozen meat during storage and transportation. 8428 Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery and 8418 Refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment are also important inputs for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 0202 is frozen beef and veal, which can be further processed and distributed to various industries, such as 1601 Sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal or blood and 1602 Other prepared or preserved meat, meat offal or blood.
