AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING
What this code covers
Use this section for aGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING when the main activity includes Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities and Forestry and logging. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
This is a top-level section with no parent code.
- This section includes the exploitation of vegetal and animal natural resources, comprising the activities of growing of crops, raising and breeding of animals, harvesting of timber and other plants, and the production of animal products from a farm or natural habitats.
- This section also includes organic agriculture, aquaculture, the growing of genetically modified crops and the raising of genetically modified animals.
- This section excludes undifferentiated subsistence goods-producing activities of households, which are classified in class 98.10.
- Compare with 98.10, B, C when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.
Use this guide as classification support, not legal, tax, filing, or regulatory advice.

What is NACE A used for?
Use NACE A for agriculture, forestry and fishing when the main activity matches this scope: Use this section for aGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING when the main activity includes Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities and Forestry and logging. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for A?
Typical examples include Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities, Forestry and logging, and Fishing and aquaculture.
When might A not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to This section excludes undifferentiated subsistence goods-producing activities of households, which are classified in class 98.10..
Which codes should I compare before choosing A?
Compare A with 98.10 Undifferentiated goods-producing activities of private households for own use, B MINING AND QUARRYING, and C MANUFACTURING when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for undifferentiated goods-producing activities of private households for own use when the main activity includes Undifferentiated goods-producing activities of private households for own use. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for mINING AND QUARRYING when the main activity includes Mining and quarrying include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by different methods (for example, underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed mining). and Mining activities are classified into divisions, groups and classes on the basis of the principal mineral produced. Divisions 05 and 06 are concerned with mining and quarrying of fossil fuels (coal, lignite, petroleum, gas); divisions 07 and 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for mANUFACTURING when the main activity includes The output of a manufacturing process may be finished in the sense that it is ready for use or consumption, or it may be semi-finished in the sense that it is to become an input for further manufacturing. For example, the output of alumina refining is the input used in the primary production of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to aluminium wire drawing; aluminium wire is the input for the manufacture of fabricated wire products. and Manufacture of specialised components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Manufacture of unspecialised components and parts of machinery and equipment (for example, engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, gears, roller bearings, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for eLECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM AND AIR CONDITIONING SUPPLY when the main activity includes This section therefore includes the operation of electricity and gas utilities. and The section also includes heating and cooling (for example, steam and air conditioning supply) through a permanent network.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for wATER SUPPLY; SEWERAGE, WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES when the main activity includes The output of the waste or sewage treatment process can either be disposed of or become an input into other production processes. Secondary raw materials are materials and products which can be used as raw materials by simple reuse, or via recycling and recovery of waste. Activities of water supply are also grouped in this section, since they are often carried out in connection with, or by units also engaged in, the treatment of sewage. and The activities also include remediation of contaminated buildings and sites, soil, surface and groundwater (for example, oceans, mangroves, seas), and so on.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities when the main activity includes Mixed farming (group 01.5) breaks with the usual principles for identifying the main activity. It accepts that many agricultural units have a reasonably balanced production of crops and animals, and that it would be arbitrary to classify them in one category or the other.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for forestry and logging when the main activity includes Silviculture and other forestry activities and Logging. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for fishing and aquaculture when the main activity includes The division also includes service activities incidental to marine or freshwater fishery or aquaculture.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
