Yara North America New Long-Term Lease

The Port of Stockton is proposing a long-term lease agreement with Yara North America, the existing tenant, to continue operations at its facility in Stockton, California. The initial lease term is set for ten years, with two optional five-year extension periods, providing long-term stability for Yara’s liquid fertilizer operations on the property. The agreement reinforces Yara’s ongoing presence at the port and supports its continued use of the designated space for its core business activities. All activities will be conducted at the current location with a ZIP code of 95203, ensuring operational continuity without relocation. Jason Cashman, the Port Director of Environmental Affairs, is the primary point of contact for the port, while Jessica Smalley, Yara’s Contract Management Specialist, serves as the key liaison on the tenant side. The lease opportunity was posted on July 24, 2026, as a forecasted procurement action, indicating the port’s intent to formalize this long-term arrangement. No solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, suggesting this is a direct negotiation with an existing occupant rather than a competitive bidding process. The terms reflect a strategic commitment by both parties to maintain and potentially expand fertilizer logistics infrastructure in the Stockton port area.
