About ground-nuts; not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken
HS code 1202 covers ground-nuts, also known as peanuts, that have not been roasted or otherwise cooked. This industry is a significant contributor to the global agricultural economy, providing a versatile and nutritious crop that is widely consumed and utilized across various sectors. Ground-nuts are a valuable source of protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, making them an important component of many food products and animal feed.
Production process
The production of ground-nuts involves several key steps. First, the peanut seeds are planted and cultivated, typically in warm, well-drained soil. As the plants grow, the peanuts develop underground, and the crop is harvested by carefully digging up the entire plant. The peanuts are then dried, cleaned, and sorted to remove any damaged or impurities. Depending on the intended use, the peanuts may be left in the shell or shelled, and they may undergo further processing, such as grading or packaging.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the ground-nut industry include arable land, suitable climate conditions, agricultural machinery, and labor. Peanut seeds or seedlings are the primary raw material, and additional inputs may include fertilizers, pesticides, and water for irrigation. Processing facilities, such as drying equipment and sorting machinery, are also essential for preparing the ground-nuts for market.
Production outputs
The primary output of the ground-nut industry is the raw, unroasted peanut, which can be further processed and utilized in a variety of ways. Ground-nuts are commonly used in the production of 2008 Nuts, peanuts, prepared or preserved, 1508 Peanut oil and its fractions, and 2202 Waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured. Additionally, ground-nuts are a significant ingredient in many food products, such as peanut butter, snacks, and confectionery items.
