Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, other than ammonium sulphate

HS v2022 Code: 310229

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, other than ammonium sulphate

HS code 310229 covers a range of nitrogenous fertilizers, excluding ammonium sulphate. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to enhance soil fertility and boost crop yields. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for efficient and sustainable fertilizer solutions has become increasingly important, making this industry a vital component of the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310229 typically involves a range of chemical processes. This may include the synthesis of various nitrogen-containing compounds, such as urea, nitric acid, or ammonium nitrate, which are then combined and processed to create the final fertilizer products. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the type of fertilizer being produced, but often involve high-temperature reactions, distillation, and careful control of the chemical composition to ensure the desired nutrient content and release characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fertilizers under HS code 310229 include various raw materials rich in nitrogen, such as natural gas, coal, or ammonia. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery, including reactors, distillation columns, and packaging facilities. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 310229 are a range of nitrogenous fertilizers, including urea, ammonium nitrate, and other nitrogen-based compounds. These fertilizers are then consumed by the 010000 Agriculture, forestry and fishing industry, as well as 110000 Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco products and 010000 Agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors, which use them to enhance crop growth and productivity.
