Fertilizers containing two nutrients: phosphorus and potassium

CPC v2.1 Code: 34645

About fertilizers containing two nutrients: phosphorus and potassium

cpc code 34645 covers the production and distribution of fertilizers containing two essential plant nutrients: phosphorus and potassium. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to improve soil fertility and enhance crop yields. As a key input for the agricultural sector, the fertilizer industry described by this code is a vital component of the broader economy, supporting food production and global food security.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under cpc code 34645 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials containing phosphorus and potassium are extracted and processed. This may include mining, chemical processing, or extraction from organic sources. The extracted nutrients are then combined and formulated into various fertilizer products, such as granules or liquids, to meet the specific needs of different crops and soil types. Quality control and testing are essential throughout the production process to ensure the final products meet regulatory standards and deliver the desired nutrient content.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fertilizers under cpc code 34645 include phosphate-rich minerals, potassium-containing salts, and various other chemical compounds. Specialized equipment, such as grinding mills, mixers, and granulators, are also necessary for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including chemists, engineers, and production technicians, to oversee the complex operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 34645 are various formulations of phosphorus and potassium-based fertilizers. These products are then distributed and sold to 01111 Wheat, 01112 Maize, 01113 Rice, and other agricultural producers, who use them to enhance soil fertility and improve crop yields. The fertilizers produced under this code may also be consumed by 01140 Sugarcane, 01150 Tobacco, and other agricultural sectors.
