Manufacture of grain mill products

NACE code 10.61 covers the manufacture of grain mill products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the broader food and agriculture sector. This industry is responsible for processing raw grains, such as wheat, corn, and rice, into a wide range of products that are essential for human and animal consumption. The manufacture of grain mill products is a fundamental part of the food supply chain, providing the basic ingredients that are used in countless food and beverage items consumed around the world.

The production of grain mill products typically involves a series of mechanical processes, including cleaning, grinding, and sifting the raw grains. Depending on the specific product, the grains may be milled using various techniques, such as roller milling, stone milling, or hammer milling. These processes are designed to separate the different components of the grain, such as the endosperm, bran, and germ, and to produce the desired particle size and texture for the final product.

The primary inputs required for the manufacture of grain mill products are the raw grains themselves, which are sourced from agricultural producers. In addition to the raw materials, this industry also relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as mills, silos, and packaging equipment, as well as various utilities, such as electricity and water, to power and facilitate the production process.

The main outputs of the grain mill products industry include a wide range of products, such as flour, meal, groats, and other milled grains. These products are then used as inputs for a variety of other industries, including 10.71 Manufacture of bread; manufacture of fresh pastry goods and cakes, 10.72 Manufacture of rusks and biscuits; manufacture of preserved pastry goods and cakes, and 10.91 Manufacture of prepared feeds for farm animals.
