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

HS v2022 Code: 2305

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

HS code 2305 covers oil-cake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of ground-nut oil. This industry plays a crucial role in the global agricultural and food processing sectors, providing valuable by-products from the production of ground-nut oil. The oil-cake and solid residues are widely used as animal feed, fertilizers, and in various industrial applications, making this industry an integral part of the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 2305 typically involves the extraction of ground-nut oil through mechanical pressing or chemical solvents. The resulting solid material, known as oil-cake, is then processed further, which may include grinding, pelletizing, or other treatments to improve its physical characteristics and suitability for various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of oil-cake and other solid residues under HS code 2305 are ground-nuts, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the oil extraction and processing of the solid residues, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 2305 are oil-cake and other solid residues, which can be used as animal feed, fertilizers, or in various industrial applications. These by-products may be further consumed by industries classified under other HS codes, such as 2308 Oil-cake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of vegetable fats or oils, other than those of heading 2304 or 2305 and 3101 Animal or vegetable fertilizers, whether or not mixed together or chemically treated; fertilizers produced by the mixing or chemical treatment of animal or vegetable products.
