Nutrien Closes Nitrogen Facility Amid Market Changes

Nutrien has announced the closure of its nitrogen facility in the Caribbean, which produced 85,000 tons of ammonia and 55,000 tons of urea monthly. This decision comes as part of a broader strategy to adapt to changing market conditions and supply chain challenges. The closure is expected to affect local fertilizer availability and pricing, particularly in regions reliant on imports.

What this means

• Farmers: May face increased costs and reduced availability of nitrogen fertilizers.
• Turf & Greenkeepers: Potential supply disruptions could impact turf management practices.
• Industry: Signals a tightening nitrogen market, prompting reevaluation of sourcing strategies.

Outlook: As global fertilizer markets adjust, further closures or production shifts may occur, influencing pricing and availability.
