Global amino acid prices are under renewed downward pressure, with lysine, threonine and tryptophan falling to historically low levels amid heavy oversupply. Lysine prices FOB China are below cost levels, while the US lysine market is also shaped by pending tariff discussions and anti-dumping investigations.
