# Amino acid markets quiet as Q4 contracts lock in low prices - Food & Agribusiness

> FOB China amino acid prices have edged up slightly for lysine, with restricted offer volumes, while buying continues in China and Latin America and Europe and the USA stay quiet. Most Q4 volumes are already contracted, with some Q1 deals secured at historically low prices. Threonine prices are at record lows with weak demand, and tryptophan keeps declining on oversupply.
