Methionine prices in China fell after stronger imports from Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, while lysine and threonine trade sideways at depressed levels.

Weak amino acid and vitamin prices lower the cost of compound feed additives for buyers, though supply overhang and China's reopening demand outlook keep the direction uncertain. Methionine and lysine softness points to ample supply in the near term.
