# Lysine shortage fears fueling soymeal rally - Pro Farmer

> US lysine shortages, after a barge of lysine was lost during Hurricane Ida and Chinese dry lysine imports faced logistical snags, have fueled a strong rally in soymeal to its highest since summer. Concerns that China could halt lysine exports are adding to the tightness. A cash meal source said dry lysine is tight but most accounts are still supplied and meal demand is steady overall.

## Why it matters

Lysine shortages push feed formulators toward more soybean meal to replace amino acids, which lifts meal prices; the rally looks partly speculative, so it may fade if supply normalizes.
