General comment Potassium chloride is a chemical compound used primarily in agriculture as a fertilizer. Its processing level is generally refined or granulated. It is known for its technical aspects such as being a readily soluble source of potassium for plants. The product can be treatment-free or undergo various treatments such as anti-caking. It meets the standard compliance for fertilizers, ensures quality for agriculture use, has usage information mainly in the agriculture sector, and is produced mainly through the evaporation of brine or mineral ore processing. Its educt, or raw material, is typically sylvite or brine deposits. Potassium chloride can be found as part of a production mix at the plant or as a consumption mix when available 'to consumer'. Overall, it is marked by its high purity and availability 'at plant' for direct use or distribution.
