Joint Products

Joint products represent “two or more products separated in the course of the
same processing operation usually requiring further processing, each product being in such
proportion that no single product can be designated as a major product”. In other words, two
or more products of equal importance, produced, simultaneously from the same process, are
known as joint products. For example, in the oil industry, gasoline, fuel oil, lubricants, paraffin,
coal tar, asphalt and kerosene are all produced from crude petroleum. These are known as
joint products.
