# Raw material markets hit by energy crunch, environmental push

> Kemiex warns that feed additive and chemical supply chains face risks from an energy crunch, surging gas, coal and phosphorus prices, and Chinese energy and emissions policies. Freight remains dysfunctional, with ships queuing at Chinese ports and schedule reliability at record lows. The Kemiex amino acids index is rising, led by DL-Methionine and tight spot Lysine and Threonine.

## Why it matters

Tight amino acid supplies and high freight costs raise the cost of compound feed inputs for buyers, and little relief in shipping is expected before mid-2022.
