Manufacture of dairy products and edible ice

NACE v2.1 Code: C10.5

About manufacture of dairy products and edible ice

NACE code 10.5 covers the manufacture of dairy products, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter, are essential components of many people's diets, providing important nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamins. The dairy industry is a significant contributor to the economy, generating employment and revenue across various sectors, from farming and processing to distribution and retail.

Production process

The manufacture of dairy products involves a range of production techniques, centered around the processing of raw milk. Key steps include pasteurization, homogenization, and separation to produce different dairy products. Cheese production, for example, involves coagulation, curd cutting, cooking, and aging processes to create a variety of cheese types. Yogurt is made through the fermentation of milk with specific cultures, while butter is produced by churning cream to separate the fat from the liquid.

Production inputs

The dairy industry relies on a steady supply of high-quality raw milk, which is the primary input. Dairy farms, both large-scale and small-scale, provide the raw material for processing. In addition to milk, the industry also requires various other inputs, such as starter cultures, enzymes, and packaging materials. Specialized equipment, including pasteurizers, homogenizers, and cheese-making vats, are essential for the efficient and safe production of dairy products.

Production outputs

The dairy industry produces a wide range of outputs, including 10.51 Operation of dairies and cheese making, 10.52 Manufacture of ice cream, and 10.89 Manufacture of other food products n.e.c.. These dairy products are then consumed by a diverse range of industries, including 10.8 Manufacture of other food products, 46.3 Wholesale of food, beverages and tobacco, and 47.2 Retail sale of food, beverages and tobacco in specialized stores.
