About poppy straw; of a kind used primarily in perfumery, in pharmacy or for insecticidal, fungicidal or similar purposes, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not cut, crushed or powdered

HS code 121140 covers poppy straw, a key raw material used in the production of various pharmaceutical, perfumery, and insecticidal products. This industry plays a vital role in the global supply chain, providing essential inputs for a wide range of industries, from medicine to personal care. The demand for poppy straw is driven by its diverse applications and the growing need for natural, plant-based ingredients in various end-use sectors.

Production process

Poppy straw is typically harvested from mature poppy plants, either manually or through mechanized processes. The harvested straw is then dried, and in some cases, further processed through cutting, crushing, or powdering to meet the specific requirements of end-users. Careful handling and storage of the raw material are crucial to maintain its quality and potency.

Production inputs

The primary input for the poppy straw industry is, of course, the poppy plant itself. Growers and producers require access to fertile land, suitable climate conditions, and appropriate cultivation techniques to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality raw material. Additionally, the industry may rely on specialized equipment for harvesting, drying, and processing the poppy straw, as well as transportation and storage infrastructure to move the product to various markets.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the poppy straw industry are the dried, processed, and packaged poppy straw itself, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. These include the 330290 perfumery, 300490 pharmaceutical, and 380894 insecticidal and fungicidal sectors, among others. The poppy straw produced under HS code 121140 may also be used as an input for the production of 130239 vegetable saps and extracts or other related products.
