About bark of african cherry (prunus africana); 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 121160 covers the bark of the African cherry tree (Prunus africana), a valuable natural resource with a wide range of applications. This evergreen tree is native to the mountainous regions of Africa and has long been utilized for its medicinal and aromatic properties. The bark of the African cherry is an important raw material in the perfume, pharmaceutical, and pesticide industries, making it a significant contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of African cherry bark involves the sustainable harvesting of the tree's bark, typically through a process of selective stripping. This method ensures the continued growth and regeneration of the tree, allowing for ongoing harvests. The harvested bark is then processed, which may include drying, cutting, or powdering, depending on the intended use.

Production inputs

The primary input for the African cherry bark industry is the raw material itself - the bark of the Prunus africana tree. This requires the cultivation and management of African cherry plantations or the sustainable harvesting of the bark from wild-growing trees. Additionally, the industry may utilize various processing equipment, such as drying facilities, cutting machines, and packaging materials, to prepare the bark for distribution and sale.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the African cherry bark industry are the processed bark products, which are then used in a variety of applications. These include 330290 Perfumes and toilet preparations, 300490 Medicaments, and 380899 Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products. The bark's versatility and demand in these industries make it a valuable commodity in the global trade of natural resources.
