About swedes, mangolds, fodder roots, hay, lucerne (alfalfa), clover, sainfoin, forage kale, lupines, vetches and similar forage products, whether or not in the form of pellets

HS code 1214 covers a diverse range of forage products that are essential for the livestock industry. These products, which include swedes, mangolds, hay, alfalfa, and various legumes, are crucial for providing nutritious feed to animals. The global trade in these forage products plays a significant role in supporting the agricultural sector and ensuring food security worldwide.

Production process

The production of the forage products under HS code 1214 typically involves a combination of cultivation, harvesting, and processing techniques. Farmers grow these crops using various agricultural methods, such as crop rotation, irrigation, and the use of fertilizers. Harvesting is often done mechanically, with specialized equipment like mowers, balers, and forage harvesters. Depending on the specific product, further processing may involve drying, pelleting, or other preservation techniques to ensure the forage retains its nutritional value and shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 1214 forage products include arable land, seeds or seedlings, agricultural machinery, fertilizers, and labor. Farmers may also rely on water resources for irrigation and energy sources for powering their equipment. Additionally, the industry may utilize transportation infrastructure to move the raw materials and finished products to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 1214 are the various forage products, such as 0714 Manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets, 1001 Wheat and meslin, 1003 Barley, 1005 (Maize (corn)), and 1214 (Swedes, mangolds, fodder roots, hay, lucerne (alfalfa), clover, sainfoin, forage kale, lupines, vetches and similar forage products, whether or not in the form of pellets). These forage products are primarily consumed by the livestock industry, providing essential nutrients and energy for the animals.
