Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, other than ammonium sulphate

HS v2017 Code: 310229

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, other than ammonium sulphate

HS code 310229 covers a range of nitrogenous fertilizers, excluding ammonium sulphate. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to boost crop yields and ensure global food security. As a key input for the agricultural sector, the production and trade of these fertilizers are vital components of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310229 typically involves the chemical synthesis of nitrogen-rich compounds. This may involve processes such as the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, the reaction of ammonia with other chemicals, or the extraction and refinement of naturally occurring mineral deposits. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the type of fertilizer being produced.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 310229 fertilizers include raw materials such as natural gas, coal, or other fossil fuels, as well as various mineral resources. Specialized production equipment, such as chemical reactors, distillation columns, and packaging machinery, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemistry, engineering, and manufacturing.

Production outputs

The fertilizers classified under HS code 310229 are primarily consumed by the agricultural sector, where they are used to enhance soil fertility and improve crop yields. These fertilizers may be used in combination with other 310210 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; urea, whether or not in aqueous solution or 310221 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium sulphate to create tailored nutrient solutions for specific crops and soil conditions.
