About nuts, edible; brazil nuts, fresh or dried, shelled

HS code 080122 covers the trade of fresh or dried, shelled Brazil nuts. Brazil nuts are a highly nutritious tree nut that are a significant agricultural export for several South American countries, particularly Brazil. As a valuable food commodity, the trade of Brazil nuts plays an important role in the global food supply chain and contributes to the economies of producing nations.

Production process

Brazil nuts are harvested from the Brazil nut tree, which is native to the Amazon rainforest. The nuts grow in large, heavy pods that fall from the trees during the rainy season. Workers manually collect the pods, which are then cracked open to extract the individual nuts. After harvesting, the nuts are typically dried, sorted, and packaged for export.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the Brazil nut industry are the Brazil nut trees themselves, which require a specific tropical climate to thrive. Harvesting the nuts also requires manual labor, as well as basic tools and equipment for pod collection, drying, and processing. Packaging materials such as bags or crates are also necessary inputs for preparing the nuts for export.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080122 is fresh or dried, shelled Brazil nuts. These nuts are a popular snack food and ingredient in many recipes, and are often consumed as part of a healthy diet due to their high nutritional value. Brazil nuts may be further processed and packaged for retail sale, or may be used as an input for other food products covered under codes such as 200819 Nuts, nes, prepared or preserved.
