About fixed vegetable fats and oils and their fractions n.e.c. in heading 1515; other than linseed, maize (corn), castor, sesame, microbial oils, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 151590 covers a diverse range of fixed vegetable fats and oils, excluding those specifically mentioned in heading 1515. These oils and fats play a crucial role in various industries, including food processing, cosmetics, and biofuels. As a significant component of the global agricultural and trade landscape, this industry contributes to the broader economy through its production, processing, and distribution activities.

Production process

The production of fixed vegetable fats and oils under HS code 151590 typically involves extraction, refining, and processing techniques. The raw materials, which can include a variety of plant sources, are first mechanically or chemically extracted to obtain the crude oil. This crude oil is then refined through processes such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities and improve the oil's quality and stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fixed vegetable fats and oils under HS code 151590 include a diverse range of plant-based raw materials, such as seeds, nuts, and fruits. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for extraction, refining, and processing the oils. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 151590 are the refined and processed fixed vegetable fats and oils. These products are then used as inputs for a wide range of industries, including 150710 Soya-bean oil and its fractions, 150810 Groundnut oil and its fractions, and 151110 Palm oil and its fractions, which are all closely related HS codes within the broader vegetable oils and fats sector.
