Trends & Forces
Reliance on US Agriculture
Rentech Nitrogen Partners, L.P. performance relies crucially on the US agricultural market. In particular, trust's performance is based on the corn industry in central America. The company's sole facility is located and Illinois, and due to the nature of nitrogen fertilizers, transporting them long distances is not feasible. This means that a downturn in the agriculture in the region or a move to other crops which do not require nitrogen fertilizers would heavily impact Rentech Nitrogen.[4]
