Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, sodium nitrate

HS v2022 Code: 310250

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, sodium nitrate

HS code 310250 covers the classification of nitrogenous fertilizers, specifically sodium nitrate. Fertilizers are essential inputs for modern agriculture, playing a crucial role in enhancing crop yields and supporting global food production. The nitrogenous fertilizer industry is a significant contributor to the broader agricultural economy, providing farmers with the necessary nutrients to cultivate high-quality crops and meet the growing demand for food worldwide.

Production process

The production of sodium nitrate fertilizers typically involves the extraction and processing of natural mineral deposits. This process often includes mining, chemical extraction, and purification techniques to obtain the desired sodium nitrate compound. Manufacturers may also employ synthetic methods, combining various nitrogen-rich raw materials to create the final fertilizer product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 310250 fertilizers include natural mineral deposits containing sodium and nitrogen, as well as various chemical reagents and processing equipment. Depending on the production method, manufacturers may also require energy sources, such as electricity or fossil fuels, to power the extraction and refining processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 310250 is sodium nitrate fertilizer, which is widely used in agricultural applications to provide nitrogen, a crucial nutrient for plant growth. The fertilizer produced under this code may be consumed by 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, 110000 Food Products, and other industries that rely on high-quality crop production.
