NACE v2.1 Code: C10.41

About manufacture of oils and fats

NACE code 10.41 covers the manufacture of oils and fats from a variety of sources, including vegetable, animal, and marine origins. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader food and agricultural sectors, providing essential ingredients for a wide range of consumer and industrial products. The manufacture of oils and fats is a significant economic activity, contributing to both domestic and international trade.

Production process

The production of oils and fats typically involves a series of key steps, including extraction, refining, and processing. Extraction methods may include mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of both, depending on the raw material and desired output. Refining processes, such as degumming, bleaching, and deodorizing, are then used to improve the quality and stability of the final products.

Production inputs

The manufacture of oils and fats requires a range of inputs, including oilseeds, animal fats, and marine oils. Depending on the specific product, other raw materials such as chemicals, enzymes, and processing aids may also be necessary. Additionally, this industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for efficient extraction, refining, and packaging operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the oil and fat manufacturing industry include a diverse range of products, such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and marine oils. These outputs are then consumed by other NACE codes, including 10.42 Food preparation, 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals, and 46.38 Wholesale of other food, including fish, crustaceans and molluscs, among others. The oils and fats produced in this industry are essential ingredients in a wide variety of food, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
