Manufacture of dairy products

NACE v2.0 Code: C10.5

About manufacture of dairy products

NACE code 10.5 covers the manufacture of dairy products, a crucial industry that plays a vital role in the global food supply chain. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter, are staple items in the diets of people around the world, providing essential nutrients and contributing to food security. This industry is a significant contributor to the economy, generating employment and revenue across various sectors, from agriculture to logistics and retail.

Production process

The manufacture of dairy products involves a range of production techniques, including pasteurization, homogenization, fermentation, and packaging. Milk, the primary raw material, is first collected from dairy farms and then processed to remove impurities and extend its shelf life. Depending on the specific dairy product, the milk may undergo further processing, such as culturing for yogurt or cheese, or churning for butter. Advanced technologies, such as automated packaging and temperature-controlled storage, ensure the quality and safety of the final products.

Production inputs

The dairy industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw milk, which is sourced from 01.4 Raising of dairy cattle. Other key inputs include specialized equipment and machinery, such as pasteurizers, homogenizers, and packaging machines. Additionally, the industry utilizes various additives, such as cultures, enzymes, and preservatives, to enhance the flavor, texture, and shelf life of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the dairy industry include a wide range of products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and ice cream. These dairy products are then consumed by households, 47.1 Retail sale in non-specialized stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating, and 56.1 Restaurants and mobile food service activities, among other industries. The dairy industry also generates by-products, such as whey, which can be further processed and utilized in various food and non-food applications.
