Processing and preserving of meat and production of meat products

NACE v2.0 Code: C10.1

About processing and preserving of meat and production of meat products

NACE code 10.1 covers the processing and preserving of meat and the production of meat products. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, transforming raw animal materials into a wide range of consumer goods. From fresh and frozen meats to sausages, canned products, and other meat-based preparations, this sector is a significant contributor to the broader economy, providing employment and essential food items to millions worldwide.

Production process

The meat processing and preservation industry utilizes a range of techniques to transform live animals into finished products. Key steps include slaughtering, cutting, and deboning; curing, smoking, and drying; as well as canning, freezing, and packaging. Advanced technologies, such as automated processing lines and specialized preservation methods, help ensure consistent quality, extended shelf life, and efficient large-scale production.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry include live animals, such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry. Additional inputs include salt, spices, and other seasonings used in curing and flavoring processes, as well as packaging materials, energy sources, and specialized machinery for cutting, grinding, and packaging operations.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the meat processing and preservation industry include fresh and frozen meats, sausages, canned and preserved meat products, and a variety of other meat-based preparations. These outputs are then consumed by a range of other NACE codes, such as 10.8 Manufacture of other food products, 47.2 Retail sale of food, beverages and tobacco in specialized stores, and 56.1 Restaurants and mobile food service activities.
