Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, sodium nitrate

HS v2017 Code: 310250

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, sodium nitrate

HS code 310250 covers the classification of nitrogenous fertilizers, specifically sodium nitrate. Fertilizers are essential inputs for modern agriculture, playing a crucial role in enhancing crop yields and supporting global food production. The nitrogenous fertilizer industry is a significant contributor to the broader agricultural economy, providing farmers with the necessary nutrients to cultivate a wide range of crops.

Production process

The production of sodium nitrate, the primary product under HS code 310250, typically involves the extraction and processing of natural mineral deposits. This process often includes mining, purification, and granulation to create the final fertilizer product. Manufacturers may also employ chemical synthesis techniques to produce sodium nitrate from other nitrogen-containing raw materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 310250 fertilizers include natural mineral deposits, such as caliche or other sodium nitrate-bearing ores, as well as energy sources, water, and various processing chemicals. Specialized equipment, such as mining machinery, reactors, and granulation units, are also essential for the efficient production of these nitrogenous fertilizers.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 310250 is sodium nitrate, a nitrogen-rich fertilizer used to enhance the growth and development of a variety of crops. The fertilizers produced under this code may be consumed by 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, 110000 Food Products, and 010100 Crop and Animal Production, Hunting and Related Service Activities industries, among others, to support their agricultural and food production activities.
