USA Market Research and Industry Report
7 September 2007
Industry Code : 32531
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of fertilizer products. Servicing a range of markets (though predominantly the agricultural sector) a wide variety of products are manufactured by the industry each of which contains a differing mixture of the three vital nutrients essential for plant growth; nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Raw materials utilized include chemicals such as ammonia in the case of nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphate rock in the case of phosphatic fertilizers and potash for potassium based fertilizer products. These are sourced both locally and from abroad. Once produced the products are either distributed via wholesale arrangements with third parties (farm supplies merchant wholesalers) or in those instances where the industry participant is vertically integrated the distribution and retailing of the product is also undertaken by the manufacturer in question.
The major products and services in this industry are:
| - | Phosphatic Fertilizer Manufacturing |
