About seed; sugar beet seeds, of a kind used for sowing

HS code 120910 covers the trade of sugar beet seeds, a crucial agricultural input used for sowing and growing sugar beet crops. Sugar beet is an important industrial crop, providing a significant source of the world's sugar supply. The production and trade of sugar beet seeds is a vital component of the global agricultural and food processing industries, supporting the cultivation of this versatile and economically valuable plant.

Production process

Sugar beet seeds are typically produced through controlled pollination and breeding programs. Breeders carefully select parent plants with desirable traits, such as high sugar content, disease resistance, and adaptability to local growing conditions. The seeds are then harvested, processed, and packaged for distribution to farmers and growers around the world.

Production inputs

The production of sugar beet seeds requires access to high-quality parent plants, specialized breeding facilities, and skilled agricultural workers. Growers also need access to suitable land, irrigation systems, and agricultural machinery to cultivate the sugar beet crops. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of other inputs, such as fertilizers, pesticides, and processing equipment to ensure the seeds meet the necessary quality standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 120910 is sugar beet seeds, which are then used by farmers and growers to cultivate sugar beet crops. These crops are processed to extract sugar, a widely used ingredient in food and beverage manufacturing. The sugar beet industry also produces various by-products, such as 230641 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of vegetable fats or oils, of low erucic acid rape or colza seeds, which can be used as animal feed or for other industrial applications.
