Fertilizers n.e.c.

cpc code 34659 covers a diverse range of fertilizer products that do not fall under other more specific classification codes. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to enhance soil fertility and boost crop yields to meet the growing global demand for food. The fertilizers industry is a key component of the broader agricultural sector, contributing to economic growth and food security worldwide.

The production of fertilizers classified under cpc code 34659 involves various chemical processes and manufacturing techniques. This can include the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds, blending of different nutrient sources, and the formulation of specialized fertilizer products. Depending on the specific type of fertilizer, the production process may involve steps such as mixing, granulation, drying, and packaging to ensure the desired product characteristics and quality.

The main inputs required for the production of fertilizers under cpc code 34659 include a range of raw materials such as 34611 Nitrogen compounds, 34612 Phosphates, 34613 Potassium salts, and various organic compounds. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing and manufacturing stages. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the production of these fertilizers.

Fertilizers classified under cpc code 34659 are primarily consumed by the agricultural sector, where they are applied to crops and soils to enhance nutrient levels and improve plant growth. The outputs of this industry can be used as inputs for other related industries, such as 01111 (Growing of cereals (except rice), legumes and oil seeds), 01121 Growing of rice, and 01130 Growing of vegetables and melons, roots and tubers, which rely on these fertilizers to maintain soil fertility and optimize crop yields.
