Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

ISIC v4.0 Code: 016

About support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

isic code 016 covers a range of support activities that are essential for the efficient functioning of the agricultural sector. These activities include tasks such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and post-harvest processing. They play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth transition from raw agricultural products to market-ready goods, contributing significantly to the overall productivity and competitiveness of the agricultural industry. This industry is a vital component of the broader economy, providing employment and supporting the supply of essential food and fiber products.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve a combination of manual labor and specialized machinery. Activities such as soil preparation, planting, and harvesting often rely on the use of tractors, harvesters, and other agricultural equipment. Post-harvest activities, such as drying, cleaning, and grading, may involve the use of specialized processing facilities and equipment. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the crop, the scale of the operation, and the level of mechanization.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include agricultural land, seeds or seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and water. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including farm laborers, equipment operators, and technicians. Machinery, such as tractors, harvesters, and processing equipment, are also essential inputs for this industry. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the productivity and efficiency of the agricultural support activities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the processed and prepared agricultural products that are ready for further distribution and consumption. These outputs can include cleaned and graded crops, dried or stored produce, and other post-harvest products. The outputs of this industry are then consumed by 101 Growing of non-perennial crops, 102 Growing of perennial crops, and 103 Plant propagation industries, which use these inputs to produce a wide range of food and fiber products.
