What happened
Nutrien announced the indefinite closure of its nitrogen complex at Point Lisas in Trinidad and Tobago on October 5, 2026. The company stated the closure was the optimal path to enhance free cash flow and return on invested capital. The complex, which produces ammonia and urea, was producing about 85,000 tons of ammonia and 55,000 tons of urea per month before the controlled shutdown began on October 23, 2025.

Why it matters
The closure affects a major global production hub. Between 2021 and 2024, Trinidad and Tobago supplied 47% of U.S. ammonia imports. Nutrien cited ongoing natural gas constraints and uncertainty as reasons for the shutdown.
