350 MORE JOBS ON THE LINE

Ap­prox­i­mate­ly 350 em­ploy­ees at Nu­trien’s Point Lisas ni­tro­gen com­plex face re­trench­ment as the Cana­di­an fer­tilis­er gi­ant moves to in­def­i­nite­ly shut down its Trinidad op­er­a­tions.

Work­ers were in­formed of the de­ci­sion dur­ing a staff meet­ing yes­ter­day, where man­age­ment, which is head­ed by pres­i­dent CEO Ken Seitz, an­nounced plans to be­gin cut­ting jobs as the com­pa­ny winds down its ni­tro­gen busi­ness in Trinidad by year-end.

The move marks the cul­mi­na­tion of a strate­gic re­view launched af­ter Nu­trien im­ple­ment­ed a con­trolled shut­down of the Point Lisas fa­cil­i­ty on Oc­to­ber 23, 2025, cit­ing re­strict­ed ac­cess to port fa­cil­i­ties and the lack of a re­li­able and eco­nom­i­cal­ly vi­able nat­ur­al gas sup­ply.
