Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday met with the leadership of Canadian fertiliser producer Nutrien, including its president and chief executive officer, Ken Seitz.

The meeting comes roughly a month after Nutrien Trinidad safely shut down its Point Lisas operations following a standoff with National Energy over a US$28 million port access fee.

Also in attendance were Nutrien’s senior vice-president of Nitrogen Operations, Dean Perkins; vice-president and managing director of Nutrien Trinidad, Edmond Thompson; and manager of Government and Industry Affairs, Nneka Mentore.
