This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a convenient and shelf-stable source of protein and nutrients. The salting and brining process helps preserve the fish, making it an important component of international trade and food security, particularly in regions where fresh fish may be scarce or difficult to transport.

Production process

The production of salted or brined fish under HS code 030564 typically involves several key steps. First, the fish are carefully selected and cleaned. They are then immersed in a brine solution, which can vary in concentration depending on the desired level of preservation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of salted or brined fish under HS code 030564 include the raw fish material, salt, and brine solutions. Depending on the specific product, additional ingredients such as preservatives or flavorings may be used. The industry also relies on specialized equipment for processing, packaging, and storage to maintain the integrity of the final product.
