NUTRIEN yesterday shut down its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, as previously announced, despite being granted permission on Wednesday to continue using the ports until the end of the year.

In an e-mailed statement to the Express, the global nitrogen producer confirmed “Nutrien has safely shut down its nitrogen operations in Trinidad and Tobago”.

“We remain committed to constructive engagement with stakeholders. However, we have not reached a solution that would allow us to restart operations under viable economic conditions.
