Manufacture of dairy products
NACE v2.1 Code: C10.51
About manufacture of dairy products
NACE code 10.51 covers the operation of dairies and cheese making, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the broader food and beverage sector. This industry is responsible for processing raw milk into a wide range of dairy products, including fresh and processed cheeses, as well as other items such as butter, yogurt, and ice cream. The dairy industry is a significant contributor to the economy, providing employment and supporting the livelihoods of farmers and producers across the supply chain.
Production process
The main production techniques used in the dairy and cheese making industry involve the processing of raw milk through a series of steps. This typically includes pasteurization, separation, and homogenization to produce the desired dairy products. Cheese making involves the coagulation of milk, followed by curd formation, cutting, cooking, and salting, before the cheese is aged and packaged for distribution.
Production inputs
The dairy and cheese making industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw milk, which is the primary raw material. Other key inputs include rennet, cultures, and various additives and flavorings used in the production of different dairy products. The industry also requires specialized equipment, such as pasteurizers, separators, and cheese vats, as well as packaging materials and transportation infrastructure to deliver the final products to consumers.
Production outputs
The dairy and cheese making industry produces a wide range of outputs, including fresh and processed cheeses, butter, yogurt, ice cream, and other dairy-based products. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of other NACE codes, such as 10.85 Manufacture of prepared meals and dishes, 47.11 Retail sale in non-specialized stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating, and 56.10 Restaurants and mobile food service activities.
