# Amino acid prices under pressure amid global oversupply - Food & Agribusiness

> 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. Methionine and valine are relatively stable at low levels, with buyers showing little urgency to secure long-term supply.

## Why it matters

Lysine and methionine are key synthetic amino acids in swine and poultry feed formulations, so falling prices lower feed formulation costs for animal-feed buyers. Continued oversupply and conservative buying suggest limited near-term price recovery in these additives.
