NAICS Code 325311-02 Description (8-Digit)

The Fertilizers Manufacturing industry involves the production of various types of fertilizers that are used to enhance the growth of crops and plants. Fertilizers are chemical compounds that are added to soil to provide essential nutrients to plants. The industry includes the manufacturing of nitrogenous, phosphatic, and potassic fertilizers, as well as mixed fertilizers that contain a combination of these nutrients. The production process involves the extraction of raw materials, such as ammonia, phosphate rock, and potash, and the conversion of these materials into a usable form. The industry is highly regulated due to the potential environmental impact of fertilizer production.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 325311-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The Fertilizers (Manufacturing) industry has a long history dating back to the 19th century when the first synthetic fertilizers were developed. In 1842, John Bennet Lawes established the first chemical fertilizer plant in the world in the UK. The industry continued to grow, and by the early 20th century, the United States had become the largest producer of fertilizers in the world. In the 1960s, the industry experienced a significant shift towards the production of nitrogenous fertilizers, which are now the most commonly used fertilizers worldwide. In recent years, the industry has seen advancements in technology, including precision agriculture, which uses data and technology to optimize crop yields and reduce waste. In the United States, the Fertilizers (Manufacturing) industry has a more recent history. The industry experienced significant growth in the mid-20th century, driven by the post-World War II agricultural boom. However, the industry faced challenges in the 1970s due to rising energy costs and environmental concerns. In response, the industry developed new technologies and production methods to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. In recent years, the industry has seen growth due to increasing demand for food and biofuels, as well as the adoption of precision agriculture technologies.
