Fungicides
CPC v2.1 Code: 34662
About fungicides
cpc code 34662 covers the fungicides industry, which plays a crucial role in modern agriculture and the broader economy. Fungicides are chemical compounds used to prevent, control, or eliminate fungal infections in crops, protecting them from diseases that can significantly reduce yields and quality. This industry's importance extends beyond the agricultural sector, as fungicides are also used in various other applications, such as wood preservation, paints, and pharmaceuticals.
Production process
The production of fungicides typically involves a multi-step process. First, the active ingredients are synthesized through chemical reactions, often involving complex organic compounds. These active ingredients are then formulated with various adjuvants, such as solvents, emulsifiers, and dispersants, to create the final fungicide product. The formulation process ensures the fungicide is effective, stable, and easy to apply. Manufacturers may also employ advanced techniques like micronization or encapsulation to improve the fungicide's performance and environmental profile.
Production inputs
The fungicides industry relies on a range of inputs, including raw materials such as organic chemicals, solvents, and specialized additives. Additionally, the industry requires specialized production equipment, such as reactors, mixers, and packaging machinery. Skilled labor, including chemists, process engineers, and quality control personnel, is also a crucial input for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of the fungicides industry is the fungicide products themselves, which are then consumed by 01000 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing, 20000 Manufacturing, and 32000 Other Industries sectors. Fungicides are used to protect a wide variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamental plants, as well as to treat wood and other materials against fungal decay.
