Manufacture of food products

NACE v2.1 Code: C10

About manufacture of food products

NACE code 10 covers the manufacture of food products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global economy. This sector encompasses a wide range of activities, from the processing and preservation of meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables to the production of dairy products, bakery goods, and other food items. As a fundamental component of the supply chain, the food manufacturing industry is responsible for transforming raw agricultural materials into the consumable goods that sustain populations worldwide.

Production process

The production techniques employed in the food manufacturing industry vary depending on the specific product being made. However, common processes often include cleaning, sorting, and grading of raw materials, followed by various processing methods such as cooking, canning, freezing, or drying. Specialized equipment like mixers, ovens, and packaging machinery are utilized to ensure consistent quality and efficient output.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the food manufacturing industry include agricultural commodities, such as 01 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities, as well as various processing aids, packaging materials, and energy sources. Manufacturers also rely on a skilled workforce, advanced technologies, and efficient logistics to transform these inputs into the final food products.

Production outputs

The food manufacturing industry produces a diverse array of outputs, ranging from 10.1 Processing and preserving of meat and production of meat products and 10.2 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and molluscs to 10.5 Manufacture of dairy products and 10.7 Manufacture of bakery and farinaceous products. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 46 Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, 47 Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and 56 Food and beverage service activities.
