HS v2017 Code: 310559

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; containing the two fertilizing elements nitrogen and phosphorus, other than nitrates and phosphates

HS code 310559 covers a crucial category of fertilizers that are essential for modern agriculture and food production. These fertilizers, which contain both nitrogen and phosphorus as key nutrients, play a vital role in enhancing soil fertility and promoting plant growth. They are widely used across various agricultural sectors, contributing to increased crop yields and food security worldwide.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310559 typically involves a combination of chemical synthesis and blending processes. Manufacturers may utilize various techniques, such as the Haber-Bosch process for nitrogen fixation, as well as phosphate rock mining and processing, to obtain the necessary raw materials. These are then combined and formulated into the final fertilizer products, often with the addition of other nutrients or compounds to optimize their effectiveness.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fertilizers under HS code 310559 include natural gas or other hydrocarbon feedstocks for nitrogen synthesis, as well as phosphate rock and other mineral sources for the phosphorus component. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize various chemical reagents, catalysts, and processing equipment to facilitate the production and blending of these complex fertilizer formulations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 310559 are the various types of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers, which are then consumed by 010000 Agriculture, forestry and fishing and 110000 Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco products sectors. These fertilizers are essential for enhancing soil fertility, improving crop yields, and supporting the global food supply chain.
