About vegetables; onions, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder but not further prepared, dried

HS code 071220 covers dried onions, a staple ingredient in cuisines around the world. Onions are a globally traded agricultural commodity, with significant production and export volumes. This code is an important part of the broader dried and preserved vegetable industry, which plays a vital role in global food supply chains and food security.

Production process

Dried onions are produced through a process of harvesting, curing, and dehydration. Onions are first grown and harvested, then cured to remove excess moisture. They are then typically sliced or chopped and subjected to various drying methods, such as air-drying, oven-drying, or freeze-drying, to remove the remaining moisture content and extend the shelf life of the product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of dried onions under HS code 071220 include fresh onions as the primary raw material, as well as equipment and machinery for harvesting, curing, and dehydration. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the drying process. Packaging materials are required to store and transport the dried onion products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 071220 is dried onion products, which can be used as ingredients in a wide range of food products, including soups, sauces, seasonings, and ready-to-eat meals. The dried onions may also be further processed into other forms, such as onion powder or flakes, which fall under related HS codes like 071290 Vegetables; n.e.c. in heading no. 0712, dried, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared.
