Nutrien Sees Trinidad Fertilizer Plant Constrained for Longer

Ammonia output at one of the world’s largest production facilities will be curbed for the foreseeable future due to Trinidad & Tobago’s natural gas supply constraints, according to top fertilizer maker Nutrien Ltd.

Production capacity for the key crop nutrient ingredient at the island nation’s Point Lisas facility averaged only 70% in the second quarter, Nutrien Chief Executive Officer Ken Seitz said in a Thursday phone interview. That’s down from 80% in the previous quarter.
