About locust beans, seaweeds and other algae, sugar beet, sugar cane, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not ground; fruit stones, kernels and other vegetable products (including unroasted chicory roots) used primarily for human consumption, n.e.c.
HS code 1212 covers a diverse range of agricultural products that are primarily used for human consumption. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential ingredients and raw materials for a wide variety of food and beverage products. The products within this code are cultivated and processed in many regions around the world, contributing to both domestic and international trade.
Production process
The production techniques for the items under HS code 1212 vary depending on the specific product. In general, these items are grown, harvested, and processed using a combination of manual and mechanized methods. For example, sugar beets and sugar cane are typically cultivated using large-scale farming equipment, while seaweeds and other algae may be harvested by hand or using specialized marine harvesting equipment. The products are then often dried, frozen, or otherwise processed to preserve their quality and extend their shelf life.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 1212 include agricultural land, water, fertilizers, and specialized farming or harvesting equipment. Depending on the product, additional inputs such as processing machinery, packaging materials, and transportation infrastructure may also be necessary. The availability and cost of these inputs can have a significant impact on the overall competitiveness of the industry.
Production outputs
The products covered by HS code 1212 are used as ingredients in a wide range of food and beverage products. For example, locust beans and seaweeds may be used as thickening agents or flavorings in various food items, while sugar beet and sugar cane are commonly used to produce sugar and other sweeteners. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed directly as fresh, chilled, or dried products. Other HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 1701 Sugar and sugar confectionery, 2106 Food preparations, n.e.c., and 2103 Sauces and preparations; mixed condiments and seasonings.
