MEDIA RELEASE
21/10/2025

AMCHAM T&T acknowledges the recent announcement by Nutrien Ltd. of a controlled shutdown of its nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas facility in Trinidad and Tobago, effective October 23, 2025. While this is a challenging development for the company and the wider ecosystem, it underscores the importance of continued collaboration among stakeholders to ensure a stable and competitive investment environment.

The factors cited—port access restrictions and the availability of reliable and economically viable natural gas supply—highlight the need for continued, constructive dialogue and coordinated action to address operational and infrastructural constraints that may affect production and investor confidence. Recent increases in gas production as a result of collaboration between the private sector and the Government, as well as announcements regarding potential upstream activity, are indeed welcome in this regard.

We are confident that all parties involved will work towards a timely and mutually beneficial resolution that supports long-term business sustainability for all parties while preserving investor confidence. Trinidad and Tobago remains a market with significant potential for industrial and energy investment, and maintaining a climate of predictability and partnership will be key to realizing that potential. We stand willing to assist any or all parties in any way that might be useful.

END.
