Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and mixtures thereof with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate)

HS v2022 Code: 310540

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and mixtures thereof with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate)

HS code 310540 covers a crucial category of fertilizers, specifically ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and its mixtures with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate). These fertilizers play a vital role in global agricultural production, helping to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. As a key input for the 020000 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing industry, this code is of significant importance within the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the fertilizers covered under HS code 310540 typically involves the reaction of phosphoric acid with ammonia. This process yields ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate, which can then be mixed with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate to create the desired blended fertilizer product. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the scale of operation and the desired product characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the fertilizers under HS code 310540 include phosphoric acid, ammonia, and other raw materials such as water and energy sources. Specialized production equipment, such as reactors, granulators, and drying systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production facilities and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 310540 is the ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and its mixtures with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate). These fertilizers are widely used in the 010000 Crop and Animal Production, Hunting and Related Service Activities industry, as they provide essential nutrients for plant growth and development. The outputs of this code may also be consumed by other related industries, such as 110000 Manufacture of Food Products and 200000 Manufacture of Chemicals and Chemical Products.
