HS v2022 Code: 120925

About seeds of forage plants; rye grass (lolium multiflorum lam., lolium perenne l.) seeds, of a kind used for sowing

HS code 120925 covers the import and export of seeds for forage plants, specifically rye grass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. and Lolium perenne L.), which are used for sowing. These seeds are an essential input for the agricultural industry, as they are used to establish and maintain pastures, lawns, and other forage-based ecosystems. The global trade in these seeds plays a crucial role in supporting livestock production, as well as the maintenance of green spaces in both rural and urban environments.

Production process

The production of rye grass seeds typically involves a multi-step process. Farmers first cultivate and manage rye grass crops, ensuring optimal growing conditions through practices such as irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. When the plants reach maturity, the seeds are harvested, often using specialized machinery like combine harvesters. The harvested seeds are then cleaned, processed, and packaged for distribution and sale to end-users, such as farmers, landscapers, and gardeners.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of rye grass seeds include the rye grass plant itself, as well as various agricultural inputs such as land, water, fertilizers, and pesticides. Additionally, specialized equipment like seed drills, mowers, and combine harvesters are necessary for the efficient cultivation and harvesting of the seeds. Transportation and storage infrastructure are also important inputs, as the seeds need to be moved from the production sites to the end-users.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 120925 is the rye grass seeds themselves, which are used for sowing and establishing forage-based ecosystems. These seeds may be consumed by other industries, such as 010910 Sheep and goats, 010120 Bovine animals, and 010410 Sheep, as they are a key component of livestock feed and pasture management. Additionally, the rye grass seeds may be used in the 011000 Cereals, 121000 Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits; miscellaneous grains, seeds and fruit; industrial or medicinal plants; straw and fodder, and 121490 Other forage products, not elsewhere specified or included industries.
