About vegetable oils; ground-nut oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified

HS code 150810 covers the import and export of crude, unrefined groundnut (peanut) oil. This vegetable oil is a significant global commodity, with widespread use in food processing, cooking, and industrial applications. As a versatile and affordable oil, groundnut oil plays a crucial role in the global edible oils market and the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

Groundnut oil is typically produced through mechanical extraction methods, such as pressing or expelling the oil from raw groundnut kernels. The crude oil may then undergo further refining processes, including degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, to improve its quality and stability for various end-uses.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the groundnut oil industry are the raw groundnut kernels, which are sourced from major peanut-producing regions around the world. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for oil extraction, refining, and packaging. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential inputs for the production and distribution of groundnut oil.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 150810 is crude, unrefined groundnut oil. This oil can be further processed and refined for use in a variety of food and non-food applications. Some of the industries that may consume groundnut oil include 150490 Vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, 151620 Vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, and 382319 Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, among others.
