# US Amino Acid Prices Rise 24.06% in March 2026 as Logistical Issues Restrict Availability

> US amino acid prices rose 24.06% in March 2026 as a tighter cargo pool and higher logistics costs limited landed availability. Chinese producers trimmed feed-grade output for specialty grades, reducing bulk exports to the US, and trans-Pacific freight rose as buyers secured April arrivals. Modest gains are expected in April and May, with a mild softening in June.
