PRODCOM is the title of the EU production statistics for Mining, Quarrying and Manufacturing, i.e. Sections B and C of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2). The title comes from the French "PRODuction COMmunautaire" (Community production).

The headings of the PRODCOM list are derived from the Harmonized System  (HS) or the Combined Nomenclature (CN), which thus enables comparations to be made between production statistics and foreign trade statistics.
