About manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats

NACE code 10.4 covers the manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global food supply chain. This sector encompasses the production of a wide range of edible and non-edible oils, including olive oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, and animal fats, among others. These oils and fats are essential ingredients in a diverse array of food products, as well as in the manufacturing of various industrial goods, making this industry a significant contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats typically involves a multi-step process. The primary raw materials, such as oilseeds, fruits, or animal fat, are first cleaned, crushed, and heated to extract the oil. The extracted oil is then refined, bleached, and deodorized to remove impurities and improve its quality and shelf life. Depending on the specific product, additional processing steps may be employed, such as hydrogenation or fractionation, to modify the oil's properties and characteristics.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats include a variety of raw materials, such as 01.11 Grow ing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops and oil seeds, 01.24 Growing of tree and bush fruits, 10.11 Processing and preserving of meat, and 10.12 Processing and preserving of poultry meat. Additionally, this industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the extraction, refining, and packaging of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats industry include a wide range of edible and non-edible oils, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, and animal fats. These products are then consumed by various other industries, including 10.5 Manufacture of dairy products, 10.6 Manufacture of grain mill products, starches and starch products, and 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals, which use these oils and fats as key ingredients in their own production processes.
