# EU slaps duties on crucial Chinese feed protein component

> The EU has imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese lysine, a key feed amino acid. French producer Eurolysine, Europe's only lysine maker, went bankrupt under pricing pressure from Chinese rivals and says it can return to full capacity by late 2025. The measure targets imports from China.

## Why it matters

Tariffs on Chinese lysine reduce cheap import supply into Europe, supporting lysine prices and raising feed formulation costs for European compound feed producers. The effect on soy and corn demand is minimal.
