The Amer­i­can Cham­ber of Com­merce of Trinidad and To­ba­go (AM­CHAM T&T) has ac­knowl­edged Nu­trien Ltd.’s an­nounce­ment of a con­trolled shut­down of its ni­tro­gen op­er­a­tions at the Point Lisas fa­cil­i­ty, ef­fec­tive Oc­to­ber 23, 2025.

AM­CHAM T&T said the de­ci­sion high­lights the need for con­tin­ued col­lab­o­ra­tion among stake­hold­ers to en­sure a sta­ble and com­pet­i­tive in­vest­ment en­vi­ron­ment. It not­ed that is­sues re­lat­ed to port ac­cess and the sup­ply of re­li­able, eco­nom­i­cal­ly vi­able nat­ur­al gas must be ad­dressed through con­struc­tive di­a­logue and co­or­di­nat­ed ac­tion.

The or­gan­i­sa­tion said re­cent in­creas­es in gas pro­duc­tion through pub­lic-pri­vate col­lab­o­ra­tion, and an­nounce­ments of po­ten­tial up­stream ac­tiv­i­ty, were en­cour­ag­ing signs. It ex­pressed con­fi­dence that all par­ties would work to­ward a res­o­lu­tion that sup­ports busi­ness sus­tain­abil­i­ty and in­vestor con­fi­dence, adding that Trinidad and To­ba­go re­mains a mar­ket with sig­nif­i­cant in­vest­ment po­ten­tial.
