Story summary

Nutrien Ltd. announced on October 5, 2026, that it would indefinitely shut down its nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas Facility in Trinidad due to ongoing natural gas constraints and uncertainty. The controlled shutdown began on October 23, 2025, because of port access restrictions and a lack of reliable and economically viable natural gas supply. Despite this closure, Nutrien stated that there would be no impact on its nitrogen sales volume forecast as it had already factored in the absence of production from these Trinidad operations. The company emphasized that it remains well-positioned to meet customer demand for nitrogen from its North American unit. Nitrogen is a crucial component in fertilizer and animal feed, among other industrial products.
