About meat and edible offal; of turkeys, not cut in pieces, frozen

HS code 020725 covers the trade of frozen, whole turkey meat and edible offal. This is a significant industry within the broader poultry sector, which plays a crucial role in global food supply and trade. Turkey meat is a popular protein source worldwide, valued for its versatility, nutritional profile, and relatively low cost compared to other meats.

Production process

The production of frozen whole turkey meat and offal involves several key steps. After slaughter, the birds are plucked, eviscerated, and rapidly chilled to preserve freshness. The carcasses are then frozen, typically using blast freezing or cryogenic methods, to lock in flavor and texture. Offal items like livers and hearts are also harvested, cleaned, and frozen separately.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include live turkeys, which are typically sourced from specialized turkey farms. Processing facilities also require access to reliable electricity, water, and cold storage infrastructure. Packaging materials, such as plastic wrapping and cardboard boxes, are essential for preserving the frozen products during transport and storage.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are frozen, whole turkey carcasses and turkey offal products. These are widely consumed as ingredients in a variety of meat dishes, as well as in prepared foods. The frozen turkey meat and offal may be further processed or packaged for retail sale. Related HS codes that may consume these products include 160100 Sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal or blood; food preparations based on these products, 160231 Meat or meat offal; prepared or preserved, of turkeys, and 160239 Meat or meat offal; prepared or preserved, n.e.c. in item no. 1602.3.
