Flours, meals and pellets; of meat or meat offal, greaves

HS code 230110 covers the production and trade of flours, meals, and pellets derived from meat or meat offal, including greaves. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential protein-rich ingredients for a wide range of food products, animal feeds, and other industrial applications. As a key component of the broader agricultural and livestock sectors, the 230110 industry is closely tied to the overall health and performance of the global economy.

The production of flours, meals, and pellets under HS code 230110 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include various types of meat, meat offal, or greaves, are collected and prepared. This may involve cleaning, trimming, and grinding the raw materials into a fine powder or granular form. The resulting flour or meal is then often subjected to further processing, such as heat treatment or extrusion, to improve its stability, nutritional profile, and suitability for specific applications.

The main inputs required for the 230110 industry include the raw materials (meat, meat offal, and greaves), as well as processing equipment such as grinders, mixers, and extruders. Additionally, the industry may rely on various additives, preservatives, and other ingredients to enhance the final product's characteristics. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the production and transportation of these goods.

The primary outputs of the 230110 industry are the flours, meals, and pellets derived from meat or meat offal, including greaves. These products are widely used as ingredients in animal feeds, pet foods, and various food products for human consumption. They may also find applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. Other HS codes that may consume the output of the 230110 industry include 230990 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included, 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 293623 Vitamin B12 and its derivatives, among others.
