Where 10 sits

  1. C Manufacturing
  2. 10 Manufacture of food products

Contains 9 narrower codes

What 10 includes

  • This division encompasses the processing of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries products into food for human or animal consumption, and also includes the production of various intermediate products that are not directly food-related. This activity frequently generates associated products of varying value (for example, hides for the slaughtering industry or oilseed cakes for oil production).
  • The division is organized into sub-sectors: meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, fats and oils, dairy products, milling and grain processing, animal feed, and other food sectors. Production can be carried out for one's own account as well as for third parties, including private slaughtering.
  • Some activities are considered manufacturing even if there is retail sales in their own store (for example, the activities of bakers, pastry chefs, butchers, etc., who sell their own products). However, when processing is minimal and does not result in a significant transformation, the unit is classified in section G.
  • This division also includes the manufacture of liquids considered to be foodstuffs or which use similar manufacturing processes (e.g., milk and fruit juices/fruit juice concentrates).

What 10 excludes

  • This division does not include the preparation of food for immediate consumption; see division 56.
