About flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes

HS code 1105 covers a range of potato-based products, including flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules, and pellets. These items are essential ingredients in various food and industrial applications, making the 1105 industry a crucial component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors. As a versatile and widely-used commodity, the products under this code play a significant role in global trade and contribute to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of 1105 items typically involves several key steps. First, potatoes are harvested, cleaned, and peeled. They are then processed through milling, grinding, or other techniques to create the desired form, such as flour, meal, or flakes. Depending on the final product, additional processing steps may include drying, sieving, or pelletizing. Advanced technologies, such as high-speed grinding and automated packaging, have helped to streamline the production process and improve efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 1105 industry include raw potatoes, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on various machinery and equipment, such as mills, grinders, and drying systems, to transform the potatoes into the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities. Packaging materials, such as bags or containers, are necessary for the storage and transportation of the 1105 items.

Production outputs

The 1105 industry produces a range of potato-based products, including flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules, and pellets.
