Carnallite, sylvite and other potassic fertilizers, n.e.c.
CPC v2.1 Code: 34639
About carnallite, sylvite and other potassic fertilizers, n.e.c.
cpc code 34639 covers the production of various potassium-based fertilizers, including carnallite and sylvite. These fertilizers are essential for maintaining soil fertility and supporting the growth of a wide range of agricultural crops. The potassium-rich compounds found in these fertilizers help plants develop strong root systems, improve drought resistance, and enhance the overall quality of the harvested produce. As a result, the 34639 industry plays a crucial role in supporting global food production and ensuring food security.
Production process
The production of fertilizers under cpc code 34639 typically involves the mining and processing of potassium-bearing minerals, such as carnallite and sylvite. These raw materials are extracted from natural deposits, often through underground mining operations. The extracted minerals are then crushed, purified, and sometimes combined with other nutrients to create the desired fertilizer formulations. Depending on the specific product, various chemical processes may be employed to extract, concentrate, and stabilize the potassium compounds.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 34639 fertilizers include the raw potassium-bearing minerals, such as carnallite and sylvite, as well as other materials like sulfur, phosphates, and nitrogen compounds. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized mining and processing equipment, as well as energy sources like electricity and natural gas to power the production facilities. Transportation infrastructure, such as railways and shipping routes, is also crucial for the distribution of these fertilizers to agricultural markets.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the cpc code 34639 industry are various potassium-based fertilizers, which are then consumed by the 01111 Wheat and meslin, 01112 (Maize (corn)), 01113 Rice, and 01114 Barley industries, among others. These fertilizers help improve crop yields and quality, contributing to the overall productivity and sustainability of the agricultural sector.
