Russia's agricultural sector cut its amino acid import dependence to 50% in 2024, down from up to 80% before 2022, according to a senator speaking at the Feed-2025 conference in Moscow. The reduction followed the launch of domestic production, including a methionine plant in Tatarstan, and domestic feed output rose to 36.4 million tonnes.
Import substitution by Russia reduces its demand for Chinese and EU amino acids, a modest bearish factor for global methionine and related feed additive trade.
