About vegetable oils; crude olive pomace oil and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 151010 covers the production and trade of crude olive pomace oil and its fractions, obtained solely from olives. This vegetable oil is an important commodity in the global food and cosmetics industries, with significant economic and cultural significance, particularly in Mediterranean regions where olive cultivation is prevalent. The olive pomace oil industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors, contributing to employment, exports, and the supply of essential oils and fats.

Production process

Crude olive pomace oil is produced by mechanically extracting the oil from the solid residue (pomace) left over after the initial pressing of olives for virgin olive oil. This process typically involves drying the pomace, followed by solvent extraction to separate the oil. The resulting crude oil may then undergo further refining, such as neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, to improve its quality and stability, but it remains chemically unmodified.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of crude olive pomace oil include olives, which are the raw material, as well as the machinery and equipment necessary for the extraction and refining processes. This may include oil presses, centrifuges, storage tanks, and other specialized processing equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 151010 is crude olive pomace oil, which can be further refined and processed for use in a variety of applications. This oil is commonly used in the food industry, where it may be incorporated into cooking oils, salad dressings, and other food products. It is also used in the cosmetics and personal care industry, as well as for industrial purposes, such as the production of 290544 biodiesel.
