Which code does this activity belong in?
Phosphatic fertilizer manufacturing covers establishments that produce phosphatic fertilizer materials or create phosphatic materials and combine them into finished fertilizers. The key distinction from nitrogenous fertilizer manufacturing is the type of primary nutrient; phosphatic operations focus on phosphorus-based products rather than nitrogen-based ones. Establishments engaged in mixing only pre-made ingredients into fertilizers, without manufacturing phosphatic materials themselves, are classified in fertilizer mixing only manufacturing instead.
