Mineral or chemical fertilizers containing at least two nutrients of nitrogen, phosphate and potash

CPC v2.1 Code: 3464

About mineral or chemical fertilizers containing at least two nutrients of nitrogen, phosphate and potash

cpc code 3464 covers the production of mineral or chemical fertilizers containing at least two of the three primary plant nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. These types of fertilizers are essential for modern agriculture, helping to boost crop yields and ensure global food security. The fertilizers produced under this code play a crucial role in supporting the 0111 Growing of cereals and other crops n.e.c. and 0112 Growing of vegetables, horticultural specialties and nursery products industries, which are major contributors to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of mineral or chemical fertilizers under cpc code 3464 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, such as natural mineral deposits or synthetic chemicals, are first extracted or manufactured. These raw materials are then processed, often through chemical reactions, to create the desired nutrient composition. The final products are then packaged and distributed for use by farmers and other agricultural producers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 3464 fertilizers include various mineral resources, such as phosphate rock, potash, and natural gas (for nitrogen-based fertilizers). Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the extraction, processing, and packaging of the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also important inputs for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 3464 is a range of mineral or chemical fertilizers containing at least two of the three key plant nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. These fertilizers are then consumed by the 0111 Growing of cereals and other crops n.e.c. and 0112 Growing of vegetables, horticultural specialties and nursery products industries, which use them to enhance soil fertility and improve crop yields.
