Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; phosphatic, superphosphates, containing by weight 35% or more of diphosphorus pentaoxide (P2O5)

HS v2017 Code: 310311

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; phosphatic, superphosphates, containing by weight 35% or more of diphosphorus pentaoxide (p2o5)

HS code 310311 covers a crucial category of fertilizers - phosphatic superphosphates. These fertilizers are essential for maintaining soil fertility and supporting the growth of a wide range of agricultural crops. As a key input for the agricultural sector, the production and trade of these phosphatic fertilizers play a vital role in global food security and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of phosphatic superphosphates typically involves the reaction of phosphate rock with sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid. This process creates a concentrated phosphate solution, which is then granulated or otherwise processed to create the final fertilizer product. The specific techniques may vary depending on the raw materials, desired product characteristics, and scale of production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 310311 fertilizers include phosphate rock, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, as well as various other minerals and chemicals used for processing and formulation. Additionally, specialized equipment such as reactors, granulators, and drying systems are necessary for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 310311 is phosphatic superphosphate fertilizer, which is a valuable input for the 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing industry. These fertilizers are commonly used to supplement soil phosphorus levels and support the growth of a wide range of crops, including cereals, vegetables, and fruits. The output of this industry may also be further processed or blended with other nutrients to create more complex fertilizer products.
