Superphosphate

cpc code 34621 covers the production of superphosphate, a vital fertilizer used in agriculture to enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth. As a key input for the agricultural sector, superphosphate plays a crucial role in supporting global food production and ensuring food security. This industry is closely linked to the broader 11000 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing sector, contributing to the overall economic well-being of many countries around the world.

The production of superphosphate involves the chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and phosphate rock. The phosphate rock is first crushed and then mixed with sulfuric acid, resulting in the formation of a viscous, paste-like substance. This mixture is then dried, granulated, and screened to produce the final superphosphate product.

The main inputs required for the production of superphosphate include phosphate rock, sulfuric acid, and various processing equipment such as crushers, mixers, and drying/granulation units. The availability and quality of these raw materials and machinery are crucial for the efficient and cost-effective production of superphosphate.

The primary output of the superphosphate industry is the superphosphate fertilizer itself, which is then consumed by the 11000 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing sector. Superphosphate is a widely used fertilizer that helps to improve soil fertility and enhance crop yields. Other related 20000 Manufacturing codes that may consume superphosphate include 20310 Manufacture of Fertilizers and Nitrogen Compounds and 20320 Manufacture of Pesticides and Other Agrochemical Products.
