About tomatoes; fresh or chilled

HS code 0702 covers the classification of fresh or chilled tomatoes, a globally significant agricultural commodity. Tomatoes are one of the most widely cultivated and consumed vegetables worldwide, playing a crucial role in the global food supply chain. As a versatile ingredient, tomatoes are used in a wide range of culinary applications, from sauces and salads to canned and processed food products. The tomato industry is a major contributor to the agricultural economy, providing employment and income opportunities for farmers, processors, and exporters across the world.

Production process

Tomato production typically involves a combination of traditional and modern farming techniques. The process begins with the selection and preparation of suitable land, followed by the planting of tomato seedlings or seeds. Growers then carefully manage the crop through various stages of growth, including irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Depending on the climate and growing region, tomatoes may be cultivated in open fields, greenhouses, or a combination of both. Harvesting is usually done by hand or with the aid of specialized machinery, ensuring the tomatoes are picked at the optimal level of ripeness.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for tomato production include fertile soil, water for irrigation, and agricultural machinery for planting, cultivation, and harvesting. Growers also rely on various fertilizers, pesticides, and other agro-chemicals to maintain plant health and maximize yields. Additionally, tomato production requires a skilled labor force to carry out the various tasks involved in the cultivation and processing of the crop.

Production outputs

Fresh or chilled tomatoes produced under HS code 0702 are primarily consumed as a raw ingredient in a variety of dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, and sauces. The output of this industry also serves as a key input for the production of 2002 Tomatoes, prepared or preserved under HS code 2002, as well as other processed food items. Tomatoes are also an important ingredient in the production of 2103 Sauces and preparations under HS code 2103, contributing to the global trade and consumption of these products.
