Manufacture of grain mill products, starches and starch products

NACE v2.1 Code: C10.6

About manufacture of grain mill products, starches and starch products

NACE code 10.6 covers the manufacture of a wide range of grain-based products, including flour, cereals, starches, and related items. This industry plays a crucial role in the food supply chain, transforming raw agricultural commodities into essential ingredients and finished goods consumed across various sectors. As a core component of the broader food manufacturing industry, the activities under NACE 10.6 contribute significantly to national and global food security and economic development.

Production process

The production techniques used in this industry typically involve a series of mechanical and chemical processes. Key steps include cleaning, grinding, and milling of grains to produce flours and meals, as well as the extraction, purification, and drying of starches from various plant sources. Advanced technologies such as automation, process control systems, and specialized equipment are often employed to ensure consistent quality and efficient throughput.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of grain mill products, starches, and starch products include a variety of cereal grains (e.g., wheat, corn, rice, barley), tubers and roots (e.g., potatoes, cassava), and other starch-rich plant materials. In addition, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as mills, silos, and drying equipment, as well as various chemicals and additives used in the processing and refining of the raw materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry include a diverse range of products, such as flours, meals, starches, and related derivatives. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 10.7 Manufacture of bakery and farinaceous products, 10.8 Manufacture of other food products, and 11.0 Manufacture of beverages, among others. The industry's products serve as essential ingredients in the production of a vast array of food, beverage, and industrial items.
