fertilizer production

Fertilizer production involves creating substances that provide essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to plants. This process typically starts with raw materials such as natural gas, mineral deposits, and other feedstocks. These materials undergo chemical reactions—such as converting natural gas into ammonia for nitrogen fertilizers or extracting phosphorus and potassium from mined minerals. The resulting compounds are then processed into powders, granules, or liquids that farmers spread on fields. Fertilizer production ensures that crops receive the nutrients they need for healthy growth, increasing agricultural productivity efficiently and sustainably.
