Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in aqueous or ammoniacal solution

HS v2017 Code: 310280

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in aqueous or ammoniacal solution

HS code 310280 covers a critical class of fertilizers that play a vital role in global agricultural production. These nitrogenous fertilizer mixtures, primarily composed of urea and ammonium nitrate, are widely used to enhance soil fertility and boost crop yields. As a key input for the agricultural sector, this industry is essential for ensuring global food security and supporting the broader economy.

Production process

The production of HS 310280 fertilizers typically involves the combination of urea and ammonium nitrate in an aqueous or ammoniacal solution. This process allows for the controlled release of nitrogen, a crucial nutrient for plant growth. Specialized equipment and chemical reactors are used to precisely mix and blend the raw materials, ensuring a consistent and high-quality final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 310280 fertilizers include urea, ammonium nitrate, and water or ammonia. These raw materials are sourced from the 310210 Nitrogenous fertilizers, mineral or chemical and 281410 Anhydrous ammonia industries. Additionally, the production process may require specialized machinery, such as mixing tanks, pumps, and packaging equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 310280 is the nitrogenous fertilizer mixture, which is then distributed and sold to agricultural producers, including farmers and commercial growers. These fertilizers are often used in combination with other nutrient sources, such as 310510 Mineral or chemical fertilizers, nitrogenous and 310520 Mineral or chemical fertilizers, phosphatic, to create a balanced and comprehensive fertilization program for various crops.
