HS v2022 Code: 310290

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, other kinds including mixtures not specified in the foregoing subheadings

HS code 310290 covers a broad range of nitrogenous fertilizers, including various chemical and mineral compounds used to enrich soil and promote plant growth. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to boost crop yields and ensure global food security. As a key input for the agricultural sector, the 310290 industry is closely tied to the broader economy, with significant implications for trade, supply chains, and environmental sustainability.

Production process

The production of 310290 fertilizers typically involves a combination of chemical synthesis and mineral processing techniques. Common methods include the Haber-Bosch process for synthesizing ammonia, the oxidation of ammonia to produce nitric acid, and the reaction of nitric acid with various minerals and compounds to create a diverse range of nitrogenous fertilizers. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the type of fertilizer being manufactured.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 310290 industry include natural gas, coal, and other fossil fuels as feedstocks for the chemical synthesis processes; various mineral resources such as phosphate rock, potash, and limestone; and significant amounts of water and energy to power the production facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery, as well as a skilled workforce to operate the complex manufacturing processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 310290 industry are a wide range of nitrogenous fertilizers, including ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium sulfate, and various compound fertilizers. These products are then consumed by the 010000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing industry, as well as 020000 Manufacturing sectors that produce agricultural inputs. The 310290 fertilizers are essential for maintaining soil fertility and supporting the production of a variety of crops, making them a critical component of the global food supply chain.
