The American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (AMCHAM T&T) is calling for continued collaboration to strengthen this country’s investment climate.
In a statement, AMCHAM T&T took note of the announcement by Nutrien of a planned, controlled shutdown of its nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas facility, effective October 23rd 2025, saying while it represents a significant challenge for both the company and the broader industrial ecosystem, it highlights the critical need for continued collaboration among all stakeholders to support a stable, predictable, and competitive investment environment.
“The factors cited—port access restrictions and the availability of reliable and economically viable natural gas supply—highlight the need for continued, constructive dialogue and coordinated action to address operational and infrastructural constraints that may affect production and investor confidence. Recent increases in gas production as a result of collaboration between the private sector and the Government, as well as announcements regarding potential upstream activity, are indeed welcome in this regard.”
AMCHAM T&T said it remains confident that all relevant parties will work collaboratively towards a timely and mutually beneficial resolution.
“Trinidad and Tobago remains a market with significant potential for industrial and energy investment, and maintaining a climate of predictability and partnership will be key to realising that potential. We stand willing to assist any or all parties in any way that might be useful.”
