About vegetable preparations; peas (pisum sativum), prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen

HS code 200540 covers a range of processed pea products, which are an important part of the global vegetable processing industry. Peas are a widely cultivated legume crop, and their processed forms are utilized in a variety of food products, from canned and jarred goods to frozen meals and snacks. This industry plays a significant role in the international trade of processed agricultural commodities, meeting consumer demand for convenient, shelf-stable, and nutritious vegetable-based foods.

Production process

The production of HS 200540 items typically involves several key steps. Fresh or frozen peas are first cleaned, sorted, and prepared for processing. They may then be canned, jarred, or otherwise packaged in a brine or sauce, without the use of vinegar or acetic acid. Heat treatment, such as pasteurization, is often employed to ensure food safety and extend shelf life. Specialized equipment like pea shellers, blanchers, and filling/sealing machines are utilized throughout the production process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the HS 200540 industry include fresh or frozen pea crops, as well as packaging materials like cans, jars, and lids. Other key inputs may include water, salt, and any additional sauces, seasonings, or preservatives used in the final product formulations. Production also requires access to food processing equipment, as well as reliable transportation and logistics networks to move raw materials and finished goods.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS 200540 industry are canned, jarred, or otherwise packaged pea products, which are then distributed and sold to consumers, food service operators, and manufacturers of other prepared food items.
