# Russia’s target of independence on feed lysine in sight - Food & Agribusiness

> Russia's veterinary regulator Rosselhoznadzor restricted imports of feed L-lysine from US suppliers Evonik and ADM, effective January 20, because US authorities did not allow Russian inspectors to visit the plants. Russia has been replacing Chinese supply since a 2017 ban and domestic output is near 110,000 tonnes against projected 2020 demand of 150,000 tonnes.

## Why it matters

Restricting US lysine supply tightens Russian feed amino acid availability and pushes buyers toward other origins and domestic production, which can support lysine prices and feed formulation costs.
