Growing of perennial crops

NACE v2.1 Code: A01.2

About growing of perennial crops

NACE code 01.2, 'Growing of perennial crops,' encompasses a vital sector of the agricultural industry. This classification covers the cultivation of a wide range of long-lived plants, including fruit trees, nut trees, beverage and spice crops, as well as various types of perennial plants grown for their flowers or foliage. The products from this industry are essential for providing food, beverages, and other agricultural commodities that are in high demand globally, making it a significant contributor to the overall economy.

Production process

The production techniques used in the growing of perennial crops involve a range of specialized practices. This typically includes land preparation, planting, irrigation, pruning, pest and disease management, and harvesting. Depending on the specific crop, growers may utilize techniques such as grafting, trellising, or controlled-environment cultivation to optimize yields and quality. The long-term nature of perennial crop cultivation also requires careful management of soil fertility and the implementation of sustainable farming practices.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the growing of perennial crops include fertile land, high-quality planting materials (such as seedlings or cuttings), water for irrigation, agricultural machinery and equipment, and various agricultural inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Additionally, skilled labor is essential for the proper care and management of the crops throughout their multi-year growth cycles.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the growing of perennial crops industry are the harvested fruits, nuts, beverages, spices, and other agricultural commodities. These outputs are then consumed or further processed by a wide range of other industries, including 10.3 Processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables, 11.0 Manufacture of beverages, and 10.8 Manufacture of other food products.
