Methionine prices rose sharply in Germany due to restricted supply and stronger demand from end-user industries. Slower methionine imports from China, along with Evonik's price increase for feed-grade DL-Methionine in Asia Pacific after maintenance and safety shutdowns, tightened inventories.
A weaker euro against the dollar also made imports more expensive.
Tighter European methionine supply and higher import costs support feed-grade amino acid prices, raising costs for compound feed formulators that use synthetic methionine.
