HS v2022 Code: 121293

About sugar cane; fit for human consumption, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not ground

HS code 121293 covers the classification of sugar cane that is fit for human consumption, whether fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried. Sugar cane is a vital agricultural commodity, playing a crucial role in the global food and beverage industry. As a major source of sucrose, sugar cane production is a significant contributor to the world's sugar supply, impacting industries ranging from food manufacturing to biofuel production.

Production process

Sugar cane is typically grown in tropical and subtropical regions, with the plant thriving in warm, humid climates. The production process involves planting, cultivating, and harvesting the cane, which is then transported to processing facilities. At these facilities, the cane is cleaned, chopped, and crushed to extract the sugary juice, which is then refined and processed into various sugar products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the sugar cane industry include the land and climate suitable for cultivation, as well as agricultural equipment and machinery for planting, harvesting, and processing the cane. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, transportation infrastructure, and access to water resources for irrigation and processing.

Production outputs

The main output of the sugar cane industry is refined sugar, which is used in a wide range of food and beverage products. Sugar cane may also be used to produce other products, such as molasses, ethanol, and bagasse (the fibrous residue left after the juice is extracted), which can be used as a fuel source or in the production of 470500 pulp and paper. The sugar cane industry's outputs are closely linked to [nc_link(170111)(raw sugar) and [nc_link(170199)(refined sugar) codes, as well as [nc_link(220710)(undenatured ethyl alcohol) and [nc_link(470500)(pulp and paper) codes.
