Plant propagation

NACE v2.0 Code: A01.3

About plant propagation

NACE code 01.3, 'Plant propagation', encompasses a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and horticultural sectors. This industry is responsible for the reproduction and cultivation of various plant species, including crops, ornamental plants, and trees. By providing high-quality planting materials, the plant propagation industry supports the growth and sustainability of numerous other economic activities, making it an integral part of the overall supply chain.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the plant propagation industry involve a range of methods, such as seed germination, vegetative propagation (e.g., cuttings, grafting, layering), and tissue culture. These techniques are carefully selected and applied to ensure the efficient and reliable reproduction of desired plant varieties, while maintaining their genetic integrity and desirable characteristics.

Production inputs

The plant propagation industry relies on a variety of inputs, including high-quality seeds, cuttings, or other plant materials, as well as specialized equipment and facilities for propagation, such as greenhouses, growth chambers, and propagation media. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, including horticulturists, botanists, and technicians, to oversee the propagation process and ensure the production of healthy, viable plants.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the plant propagation industry are young plants, seedlings, and other planting materials that are then consumed by a range of other NACE codes, such as 01.1 Growing of non-perennial crops, 01.2 Growing of perennial crops, and 01.3 Plant propagation. These planting materials are essential for the establishment and maintenance of agricultural, horticultural, and forestry operations, as well as for the production of various consumer goods, such as ornamental plants and landscaping materials.
