# Russian export ban on amino acids on the horizon - Food & Agribusiness

> Russia's Agricultural Ministry has proposed banning exports of L-lysine sulphate, L-lysine monochloride and DL-methionine from July 1 through end-2022. The move aims to prevent a domestic feed amino acid shortage, which the ministry links to Western sanctions causing logistics disruption and veterinary restrictions on EU feed additive imports. The decree still requires public hearing, expert review and government approval.

## Why it matters

Russia is a notable importer of feed amino acids, so a proposed export ban would keep supply at home and could tighten lysine and methionine availability for global feed buyers while the decree is pending. Feed formulators relying on these additives may face firmer prices if the ban advances.
