About post-harvest crop activities

NACE code 01.63 covers post-harvest crop activities, which are an essential part of the agricultural supply chain. This industry is responsible for the processing, storage, and preparation of crops after they have been harvested, ensuring that agricultural products reach consumers in optimal condition. These post-harvest activities play a crucial role in maintaining food security, reducing waste, and supporting the broader 01.1 Growing of non-perennial crops and 01.2 Growing of perennial crops sectors.

Production process

The main production techniques in post-harvest crop activities include cleaning, sorting, grading, and packaging of harvested crops. Crops may also undergo drying, cooling, or other preservation methods to extend their shelf life. Specialized equipment, such as sorting machines, drying facilities, and storage silos, are often used to streamline these processes and maintain product quality.

Production inputs

The key inputs for post-harvest crop activities include the harvested crops themselves, as well as various materials and equipment necessary for processing and storage. This includes packaging materials, such as boxes, bags, or crates, as well as specialized machinery for cleaning, sorting, and drying the crops. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the processing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the post-harvest crop activities industry are processed, stored, and packaged agricultural products that are ready for distribution and consumption. These outputs may be sold to 46.31 Wholesale of fruit and vegetables or 10.3 Processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables industries, which further process or distribute the crops to end consumers.
