HS v2017 Code: 310290

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, other kinds including mixtures not specified in the foregoing subheadings

HS code 310290 covers a diverse range of nitrogenous fertilizers, including various chemical and mineral compounds. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to enhance soil fertility and boost crop yields. As a key input for the agricultural sector, the products under this code are essential for ensuring global food security and supporting the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310290 typically involves a combination of chemical synthesis and mineral processing techniques. Common methods include the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, the processing of natural mineral deposits, and the blending of various nutrient components to create tailored fertilizer formulations.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 310290 fertilizers include natural gas, coal, and other fossil fuels as energy sources, as well as various mineral resources such as phosphate rock, potash, and limestone. Specialized equipment, such as chemical reactors, granulators, and packaging machinery, is also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 310290 fertilizer industry are a diverse range of nitrogenous fertilizer products, including ammonium nitrate, urea, and various nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) blends. These fertilizers are then consumed by the 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing sector, as well as 110000 Food Products and 200000 Chemicals and Chemical Products industries, which rely on them as key inputs for their own production processes.
