About oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil

HS code 2304 covers oil-cake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil. This industry plays a crucial role in the global agricultural and food processing sectors, providing valuable by-products from the production of soya-bean oil. The oil-cake and residues are widely used as animal feed, contributing to the sustainability of livestock farming and the broader food supply chain.

Production process

The production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 2304 typically involves the extraction of soya-bean oil through mechanical pressing or chemical solvents. After the oil is extracted, the remaining solid material is processed, often through grinding or pelleting, to create the final products covered by this code.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the industry covered by HS code 2304 are soya beans, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the production process requires machinery and equipment for oil extraction, grinding, and pelleting, as well as energy sources such as electricity or fuel to power the operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 2304 are oil-cake and other solid residues, which are used as animal feed, particularly for livestock such as cattle, poultry, and swine. These by-products are often consumed by industries covered by other HS codes, such as 2309 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding.
