About post-harvest crop activities

isic code 0163, 'Post-harvest crop activities', encompasses a crucial segment of the agricultural industry. This code covers a range of post-harvest operations that are essential for preparing crops for market, storage, or further processing. These activities play a vital role in the broader agricultural supply chain, ensuring the efficient and effective distribution of food and other crop-based products to consumers and downstream industries.

Production process

The main production techniques involved in post-harvest crop activities include cleaning, sorting, grading, and packaging of harvested crops. This may involve the use of specialized machinery and equipment, such as sorting tables, conveyor belts, and packaging equipment. Crops may also undergo drying, curing, or other preservation methods to extend their shelf life and maintain quality.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for post-harvest crop activities include the harvested crops themselves, as well as various tools and equipment necessary for the cleaning, sorting, and packaging processes. This may include items such as 2821 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery, 2222 Manufacture of plastic products, and 2599 Manufacture of other fabricated metal products n.e.c..

Production outputs

The primary outputs of post-harvest crop activities are the cleaned, sorted, and packaged crops that are ready for distribution to 4620 Wholesale of agricultural raw materials and live animals, 1010 Processing and preserving of meat, 1020 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and molluscs, and 1030 Processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables, among other downstream industries.
