About nuts, edible; coconuts, in the inner shell (endocarp)

HS code 080112 covers the import and export of edible coconuts in their inner shell, also known as the endocarp. Coconuts are a globally significant agricultural commodity, with widespread use in food, cosmetics, and industrial applications. As a major tropical crop, the coconut industry plays a crucial role in the economies of many developing countries, providing livelihoods for millions of smallholder farmers.

Production process

The production of coconuts in the inner shell involves harvesting mature coconuts from coconut palm trees, typically 12-15 months after flowering. The harvested coconuts are then processed to remove the outer husk and shell, leaving the inner endocarp containing the edible coconut meat and liquid. This process can be done manually or using specialized machinery, depending on the scale of production.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the coconut industry under HS code 080112 are the coconut palm trees, which require suitable tropical climates and soil conditions for optimal growth. Other key inputs include land for cultivation, labor for harvesting and processing, and any necessary equipment or machinery. Depending on the scale of production, additional inputs such as fertilizers, irrigation systems, and storage facilities may also be required.

Production outputs

The main output of the industry covered by HS code 080112 is the edible coconut in its inner shell. These coconuts can be further processed and used in a variety of food and non-food products. Some of the industries that may consume the output of HS code 080112 include 080111 Nuts, edible; coconuts, desiccated, 151311 Coconut oil, crude, and 220720 Beverages, nonalcoholic; coconut water.
