About processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables
isic code 103, 'Processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables', represents a vital industry within the broader food and beverage sector. This industry is responsible for transforming raw agricultural produce into a wide range of shelf-stable, value-added products that are essential for global food security and supply chains. By applying various preservation techniques, the industry ensures the availability of nutritious fruit and vegetable-based foods year-round, supporting both domestic consumption and international trade.
Production process
The main production techniques used in this industry include canning, freezing, drying, and pickling. Canning involves sealing fruit and vegetables in airtight containers and subjecting them to heat treatment to kill microorganisms and extend shelf life. Freezing preserves the freshness and texture of produce, while drying removes moisture to create shelf-stable dried fruits and vegetables. Pickling, on the other hand, uses brine or vinegar solutions to preserve the produce and impart distinctive flavors.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for this industry include fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as various packaging materials, such as cans, jars, and plastic containers. Specialized processing equipment, such as canning lines, freezers, and dehydrators, are also essential for the industry's operations. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the machinery and ensure the quality and safety of the final products.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are a diverse range of processed fruit and vegetable products, including canned, frozen, dried, and pickled items. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 101 Manufacture of food products, 102 Manufacture of beverages, and the 561 Food and beverage service activities sector. The processed fruit and vegetables are also important inputs for the 104 Manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats and 105 Manufacture of dairy products industries.
