NU­TRIEN AN­NOUNCES TEM­PO­RARY SHUT­DOWN AT TRINIDAD AM­MO­NIA FA­CIL­I­TY

Saska­toon, Saskatchewan – Nu­trien Ltd. an­nounced to­day that it has made the dif­fi­cult de­ci­sion to tem­porar­i­ly shut down one of the four am­mo­nia (NH3) plants at its Trinidad fa­cil­i­ty. The tem­po­rary shut­down is in re­sponse to the cur­rent mar­ket price of am­mo­nia. The plant has an an­nu­al am­mo­nia ca­pac­i­ty of 600,000 met­ric tonnes per year.  The oth­er three am­mo­nia plants and one urea fa­cil­i­ty at the site will con­tin­ue to op­er­ate at nor­mal rates.     

We ex­pect the shut­down to last for a min­i­mum of three months. We will con­tin­ue to mon­i­tor mar­ket con­di­tions go­ing for­ward as we as­sess any fur­ther changes in pro­duc­tion.
