Ploughs; for soil preparation

HS v2017 Code: 843210

About ploughs; for soil preparation

hs code 843210 covers ploughs, a critical piece of agricultural equipment used for soil preparation. Ploughs are essential tools in the farming industry, responsible for turning over and loosening the soil, preparing it for planting and cultivation. This process is a fundamental step in the agricultural production cycle, making the 843210 code a vital component of the broader food and fiber supply chain.

Production process

Ploughs are typically manufactured using a combination of metal alloys, such as steel and cast iron, to ensure durability and strength. The production process involves casting, forging, and machining the various components, which are then assembled into the final product. Advancements in design and materials have led to the development of more efficient and versatile plough models, catering to the diverse needs of farmers and agricultural operations.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ploughs under hs code 843210 include raw materials such as steel, cast iron, and other metal alloys. Additionally, specialized machinery and tools are necessary for the manufacturing process, including casting equipment, forging presses, and precision machining tools. The industry also relies on skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 843210 industry is ploughs, which are used by farmers and agricultural contractors for soil preparation. These ploughs are then consumed by 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing operations, where they play a crucial role in preparing the land for planting crops, improving soil fertility, and enhancing overall agricultural productivity. The outputs of this industry are also closely linked to 840000 Machinery, mechanical appliances, nuclear reactors, boilers; parts thereof and 731000 Articles of iron or steel industries, as they provide the necessary components and materials for plough manufacturing.
