HS v2022 Code: 310559

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; containing the two fertilizing elements nitrogen and phosphorus, other than nitrates and phosphates

HS code 310559 covers a crucial category of fertilizers that are essential for modern agriculture and food production. These fertilizers, which contain both nitrogen and phosphorus as the primary nutrient elements, play a vital role in enhancing soil fertility and promoting plant growth. They are widely used across various agricultural sectors, contributing significantly to global food security and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310559 typically involves a combination of chemical processes and blending techniques. The key steps often include the extraction and purification of raw materials, such as phosphate rocks and nitrogen-rich compounds, followed by the careful formulation and mixing of these components to achieve the desired nutrient composition. Advanced manufacturing methods, including granulation, pelletization, and coating, may be employed to ensure the optimal delivery and effectiveness of these fertilizers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fertilizers under HS code 310559 include phosphate rocks, nitrogen-containing compounds (e.g., ammonia, urea), and various other minerals and chemicals. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as reactors, granulators, and drying systems, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production technologies are crucial factors in determining the overall efficiency and sustainability of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 310559 is a range of complex fertilizers that combine nitrogen and phosphorus as the two key nutrient elements. These fertilizers are widely used in 010000 Agriculture, forestry and fishing to enhance crop yields and soil fertility. The outputs from this industry may also be consumed by 110000 Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco and 020000 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products sectors, as they rely on the availability of high-quality fertilizers to support their respective industries.
