About meat and edible meat offal; of primates, fresh, chilled or frozen

HS code 020830 covers the trade of meat and edible meat offal from primates, which includes a variety of species such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. This industry plays a significant role in the global food supply chain, particularly in regions where primate meat is a traditional dietary component. While the consumption of primate meat remains controversial due to ethical and environmental concerns, it continues to be an important economic activity in certain parts of the world.

Production process

The production of primate meat typically involves hunting or trapping the animals in their natural habitats, followed by slaughtering and processing the carcasses. In some cases, limited primate farming operations may also exist, where the animals are raised in captivity for meat production. The meat is then typically sold fresh, chilled, or frozen, depending on the preferences and requirements of the target markets.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the primate meat industry include the live animals, which are sourced from the wild or from limited farming operations. Additionally, the industry requires basic slaughtering and processing equipment, as well as transportation and storage infrastructure to move the final products to market. In some cases, specialized knowledge and techniques for hunting, trapping, and handling primates may also be considered important inputs.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 020830 is primate meat, which can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in various food products. The meat may be sold to domestic markets or exported to countries where there is demand for this type of protein.
