# Amino acid market continues to weaken in all regions - Food & Agribusiness

> Amino acid prices remain under pressure across regions, with lysine facing weak demand and rising inventories among manufacturers. Threonine prices are softening slightly in some regions, DL-methionine is stable at elevated levels, tryptophan is quiet at historically low prices, and valine is weakening as ex-China prices decline. Buying interest beyond Q3 is limited, and a potential reopening of the EU anti-dumping case on lysine has not yet changed European market sentiment.

## Why it matters

Weak lysine and valine prices and softer threonine reduce input costs for compound feed formulators, while elevated methionine keeps a cost floor under feed premixes. Oversupply and low forward coverage point to continued softness in amino acid prices unless the EU anti-dumping case changes supply.
