# Lysine HCL Supply Closer to Home - Chinese Lysine Manufacturers and Exporters Are Building Sizable Inventories in Chicago in a Significant Effort to Boost Supply Chain Robustness

> Chinese lysine manufacturers and exporters are building inventories in Chicago to shorten supply chains, with the first shipment reaching a Foreign Trade Zone in Savannah, IL in April 2022 for Midwest feed makers. Lysine has been short across North America since 2020, and a container shipment ordered for February only arrived in mid-June because of China's zero-Covid lockdowns and US port congestion.
