Mineral or chemical fertilizers, phosphatic

CPC v2.1 Code: 3462

About mineral or chemical fertilizers, phosphatic

cpc code 3462 covers the production of mineral or chemical fertilizers containing phosphates. These phosphatic fertilizers are essential inputs for the agricultural industry, helping to enhance soil fertility and improve crop yields. As a key component of the broader fertilizer manufacturing sector, this industry plays a crucial role in supporting global food production and food security.

Production process

The main production techniques for phosphatic fertilizers involve the chemical processing of phosphate-containing raw materials, such as phosphate rock. This typically includes steps like grinding, beneficiation, and chemical reactions to produce various phosphate-based compounds, such as superphosphates, diammonium phosphate, and triple superphosphate.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of phosphatic fertilizers include phosphate rock, sulfuric acid, ammonia, and other chemical reagents. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for mining, processing, and blending the raw materials into the final fertilizer products.

Production outputs

The main outputs of cpc code 3462 are various types of phosphatic fertilizers, which are then consumed by the 0111 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities industry. These fertilizers help to replenish soil nutrients and support the growth of a wide range of agricultural crops.
