FertiNitro

Venezuelan fertilizer company, founded in 19981

FertiNitro (Fertilizantes Nitrogenados de Oriente) is Venezuela's largest fertilizer company, producing around 1.5m tons of urea per year. It was nationalised in October 2010, having previously been owned by Pequiven (35%) and Koch Industries (35%). The nationalization led to negotiations for repayment of the bonds FertiNitro had issued, which led to the Government ultimately offering 105 cents on the dollar (i.e., the bonds' principal plus a portion of the contractual make-whole).2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
