Nutrien begins shutting down Trinidad nitrogen operations

Oct 22, 2025 | 11:35 AM

Nutrien Ltd. says it has started a controlled shut down of its Trinidad nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas’ facility.

The company says the shutdown is in response to port access restrictions imposed by Trinidad and Tobago’s National Energy Corp. and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supply.

The shutdown will be effective Thursday.

Nutrien says it will continue to assess options with respect to its operations in Trinidad.

The company’s ammonia and urea sales volumes from its Trinidad operations are about 85,000 and 55,000 tonnes per month, respectively.
