> Eurolysine, the EU's sole fermentation-based amino acid producer, filed a complaint with the European Union saying lower Chinese lysine prices have made anti-dumping penalties ineffective. It said Chinese lysine prices are below production costs, with lysine 20% lower than July 2024 and tryptophan down 60% over a year.
