| - - This division includes two basic activities, namely the production of crop products and the production of animal products.

- - This division includes the soilless cultivation of crops, such as using hydroponic and aquaponic methods.
- - This division also includes service activities incidental to agriculture, as well as hunting, trapping and related activities.
| - - This division includes the processing of products of agriculture, forestry and fishing into food for humans or animals, and includes the production of various intermediate products that are not directly food products. The activity often generates associated products of greater or lesser value (for example, hides from slaughtering, or oilcake from oil production).
- - This division is organised by activities dealing with different kinds of products: meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, fats and oils, milk products, grain mill products, animal feed and other food products. Production can be carried out for own account, as well as for third parties, as in custom slaughtering.
- - Some activities are considered manufacturing even though there is retail sale of the products in the producers’ own shop (for example, those activities performed in bakeries, pastry shops and prepared meat shops which sell their own production).

- - This division also includes the manufacture of liquids considered food or that use similar manufacturing processes (for example, milk and fruit juice/ concentrate).
| - - This division includes the manufacture of a variety of goods not covered in other parts of the classification. Since this is a residual division, production processes, input materials and use of the produced goods can vary widely and usual criteria for grouping classes into divisions have not been applied here.
| - - This division includes wholesale of physical goods on own account or on a fee or contract basis (commission trade) related to domestic (national) wholesale as well as international wholesale (import/export), including on the internet.
- - Wholesale on own account means owning the goods traded until the ownership is transferred to the buyer.

- - This division includes wholesale on a fee or contract basis (group 46.1), specialised wholesale (groups 46.2 to 46.8) and non-specialised wholesale (group 46.9); class 46.39 is an exception as it includes non-specialised wholesale of food, beverages and tobacco.
