Nutrien Shuts Down Trinidad Nitrogen Operations Amid Gas Supply Crisis

Nutrien Ltd., a leading global agricultural solutions provider, has announced the controlled shutdown of its nitrogen operations in Trinidad. This decision comes in response to ongoing challenges related to gas supply and port access, which have hindered production capabilities. The shutdown is expected to impact the availability of nitrogen fertilizers in the region, potentially leading to increased prices and supply shortages.

What this means

• Farmers: May face higher fertilizer costs and reduced availability.
• Turf & Greenkeepers: Could experience challenges in sourcing nitrogen products.
• Industry: Other nitrogen producers may see increased demand as a result.

Outlook: Nutrien is evaluating future options for its Trinidad operations, which may include potential investments to improve supply chain resilience.
