Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; containing the two fertilizing elements phosphorus and potassium

HS v2017 Code: 310560

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; containing the two fertilizing elements phosphorus and potassium

HS code 310560 covers a critical segment of the global fertilizer industry. Fertilizers containing both phosphorus and potassium are essential for maintaining soil fertility and supporting the growth of a wide range of agricultural crops. This industry plays a vital role in ensuring global food security and supporting the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310560 typically involves the chemical processing of raw materials to extract and combine the necessary phosphorus and potassium elements. This may involve processes such as mining, mineral extraction, and chemical synthesis to create the desired fertilizer formulations.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 310560 fertilizers include phosphate-rich minerals, potassium-bearing minerals, and various chemical reagents. Specialized equipment such as reactors, granulators, and drying systems are also essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the finished fertilizer product, which can be sold to 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing industries, 110000 Food Products manufacturers, and other end-users in the agricultural sector. These fertilizers may also be blended with other nutrient sources to create more complex formulations for specific crop requirements.

Revisions to 310560

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 310560. The most recent 1 version of this code (310560) is in the HS v2022 system:
