HS v2022 Code: 310240

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium nitrate with calcium carbonate or other inorganic non-fertilizing substances, mixtures thereof

HS code 310240 covers a critical component of the global agricultural industry - fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate mixed with calcium carbonate or other inorganic non-fertilizing substances. These specialized fertilizers play a vital role in enhancing soil fertility and boosting crop yields, making them an essential input for 020000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing operations worldwide. As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for efficient and sustainable fertilizer solutions like those described by this code is expected to remain high.

Production process

The production of HS 310240 fertilizers typically involves a multi-step process. First, ammonium nitrate is synthesized through the reaction of ammonia and nitric acid. This ammonium nitrate is then blended with calcium carbonate or other inert inorganic materials to create the final fertilizer mixture. The specific ratios and compositions of the components can be adjusted to meet the unique needs of different agricultural applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 310240 fertilizers include ammonia, nitric acid, and calcium carbonate or other inorganic non-fertilizing substances. Additionally, specialized production equipment such as reactors, mixers, and granulators are necessary to facilitate the chemical reactions and blending processes. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial for powering the manufacturing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 310240 is the specialized fertilizer mixture containing ammonium nitrate, calcium carbonate, and/or other inorganic non-fertilizing substances. These fertilizers are then distributed and sold to 010000 Crop and Animal Production, Hunting and Related Service Activities operations, where they are applied to soil to enhance nutrient levels and improve crop yields. Other industries that may consume the output of HS 310240 include 201500 Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds and 469000 Other specialized wholesale, which distribute and trade these essential agricultural inputs.
