Vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and by-products; whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included

HS code 230800 covers a diverse range of vegetable-based materials and by-products used in animal feed production. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural economy, providing a sustainable way to repurpose waste and residues from various crop and food processing activities. The materials classified under this code are an important source of nutrients, fiber, and other beneficial compounds for livestock and other animals.

The production of animal feed materials under HS code 230800 typically involves the collection, processing, and preparation of vegetable-based waste and by-products. This can include drying, grinding, pelleting, or other techniques to transform the raw materials into a suitable form for inclusion in animal feed formulations. The specific methods used may vary depending on the type of vegetable material and the desired characteristics of the final product.

The main inputs for this industry are the various vegetable materials, waste, and residues generated from crop production, food processing, and other agricultural activities. This can include things like fruit and vegetable peels, husks, stems, leaves, and other plant-based materials that are not suitable for direct human consumption. In addition, the industry may utilize specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, transportation, and processing of these raw materials.

The primary outputs of this industry are the processed vegetable materials and by-products that are used as ingredients in animal feed formulations. These materials may be sold directly to animal feed manufacturers or integrated into their own feed production processes. Some of the other HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 230110 Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, unfit for human consumption; greaves, 230210 Bran, sharps and other residues, whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other working of cereals, and 230990 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included.
