Nutrien Ltd. (TSX and NYSE: NTR) announced it will indefinitely shut down its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas Facility following a review of strategic alternatives, according to a company statement.

The company cited ongoing natural gas constraints and supply uncertainty as the primary factors behind the decision, stating the shutdown was determined to be the path to enhance free cash flow and return on invested capital.

Nutrien had previously implemented a controlled shutdown of the facility on October 23, 2025, in response to port access restrictions and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supply.

Dean Perkins, Senior Vice President, Upstream, Nitrogen and Proprietary Product Operations, said the company is "committed to managing the transition responsibly and safely" and acknowledged the contributions of the Trinidad team.

Nutrien said the closure will have no impact on its 2026 nitrogen sales volume guidance, as the company had already assumed no production from the Trinidad facility in its projections. The company said it expects to meet customer demand through its North American nitrogen assets via reliability improvements and debottleneck projects.
