Investing.com -- Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE:NTR) stock fell 2.4% Tuesday after the fertilizer producer announced plans to shut down its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas facility effective October 23, 2025.
The Canadian-based agricultural solutions company cited port access restrictions imposed by Trinidad and Tobago’s National Energy Corporation and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supply as the primary reasons for the shutdown. These factors have reduced the free cash flow contribution from the Trinidad operations "over an extended period of time," according to the company.
Nutrien’s Trinidad facilities produce approximately 85,000 tonnes of ammonia and 55,000 tonnes of urea per month. Despite the shutdown, the company expects to remain within its 2025 annual nitrogen sales volume guidance range of 10.7 to 11.2 million tonnes, pointing to "continued strong performance" from its North American Nitrogen operations.
The company stated it will continue to engage with stakeholders and evaluate options regarding its Trinidad operations. The decision comes as Nutrien adjusts its global production footprint amid ongoing challenges in securing reliable inputs for its Caribbean operations.
Nutrien, formed by the merger of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan and Agrium in 2018, is one of the world’s largest providers of crop inputs and services, with operations spanning North America, Australia, and South America.
