# Trinidad Supply Cut Pushes US Ammonia Up 30%, Near $875 a Ton

> US Midwest ammonia prices rose more than 30% from late June to early October, reaching about $800 per short ton and then climbing to around $875. Ammonia imports from Trinidad and Tobago fell about 34% this year after Nutrien indefinitely shut its Trinidad nitrogen operations in October due to gas shortages.

## Why it matters

Losing Trinidad's ammonia supply, which typically moves by barge up the river system, tightens nitrogen fertilizer availability during the fall application season. Higher nitrogen costs raise farm input expenses and can push urea prices up.
