About fish; live, carp (cyprinus spp., carassius spp., ctenopharyngodon idellus, hypophthalmichthys spp., cirrhinus spp., mylopharyngodon piceus, catla catla, labeo spp., osteochilus hasselti, leptobarbus hoeveni, megalobrama spp.)

HS code 030193 covers the trade of live carp fish, which are an important source of protein and a staple food in many parts of the world. Carp farming is a significant industry, particularly in Asia, and these fish are widely cultivated and exported globally. The trade of live carp plays a crucial role in the broader food and agriculture sector, contributing to food security and economic development in many countries.

Production process

Carp are typically farmed in ponds, lakes, or other freshwater bodies using extensive or semi-intensive aquaculture techniques. The fish are bred and raised in controlled environments, with careful management of water quality, feeding, and disease prevention. Carp are hardy and adaptable, making them well-suited for aquaculture. Harvesting involves netting or draining the ponds to collect the mature fish, which are then transported live to markets or processing facilities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for carp farming include freshwater resources, fish fry or fingerlings, feed (such as grains, plant-based materials, or supplementary feeds), and equipment like nets, aerators, and water treatment systems. Farmers also require access to land or water bodies suitable for pond construction, as well as technical knowledge and labor to manage the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 030193 is live carp fish, which are sold for consumption, stocking, or further processing. The carp produced under this code may be used as inputs for other industries, such as 030199 Fish; live, other than trout, salmon, eels and carp, 030211 Salmonidae; fresh or chilled, or 030269 Fish; fresh or chilled, n.e.c. in item no. 0302. The live carp trade also supports ancillary industries like transportation, packaging, and distribution.
