About vegetable saps and extracts; opium

HS code 130211 covers the trade of vegetable saps and extracts, including opium. This industry plays a vital role in the global pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, providing key raw materials for the production of a wide range of medicinal and health-related products. The demand for these natural plant-based extracts continues to grow as consumers seek more holistic and sustainable alternatives to synthetic chemicals.

Production process

The production of vegetable saps and extracts typically involves the harvesting and processing of various plant materials. For opium, the process begins with the cultivation of opium poppy plants, followed by the careful extraction and refinement of the raw sap from the plant's pods. Other vegetable saps and extracts may be obtained through methods such as solvent extraction, steam distillation, or mechanical pressing, depending on the specific plant source and desired end product.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include the raw plant materials, such as opium poppies, as well as the necessary equipment and facilities for cultivation, harvesting, and processing. Specialized machinery, such as extraction units and distillation equipment, are often required to efficiently and safely produce the desired saps and extracts. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in plant cultivation, chemistry, and pharmaceutical processing.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 130211 are the various vegetable saps and extracts, which are then used as inputs for the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and other consumer products. These outputs may include 300490 Medicaments, consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale, 330129 (Essential oils (other than those of citrus fruit), including concretes and absolutes; resinoids; extracted oleoresins; concentrates of essential oils in fats, in fixed oils, in waxes or the like, obtained by enfleurage or maceration; terpenic by-products of the deterpenation of essential oils; aqueous distillates and aqueous solutions of essential oils), and 121190 (Plants and parts of plants (including seeds and fruits), 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).
